Webinar Description:

In the wake of the #MeToo movement many employers are reconsidering their responsibilities and reviewing their policies on harassment in the workplace. To help employers develop and strengthen policies that better prevent and appropriately respond to the full spectrum of gender-based violence from sexual harassment to domestic violence, Futures Without Violence’s Workplaces Respond team is hosting a webinar on the key policy elements and strategies employers can pursue to foster safer and more productive workplaces.

After the webinar, participants will be better able to:

  • Identify essential components of a prevention-oriented, victim-centered gender-based violence prevention and response policy
  • Adapt policies and practices in response to the #MeToo movement
  • Formulate trauma-informed policies that address the needs of survivors of all forms of gender-based violence
