Harassment is defined as any unwelcome conduct that may be based on age, sex, race, religion, national origin, or disability. According to the EEOC, “Harassment becomes unlawful where 1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or 2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.” Harassment that meets these criteria is considered a form of employment discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967(ADEA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act of1990 (ADA). This course satisfies federal harassment training requirements and focuses on the responsibilities of employers and employees to identify, report, and prevent harassment in the workplace.
