Online Sexual Harassment Training

Online sexual harassment training is often treated as the budget option. On this topic specifically it has an advantage a room does not.

Privacy. People engage far more honestly with this content alone than sitting beside colleagues, and possibly beside the person the content is describing. Group sessions on sexual harassment produce silence, nervous humour, and occasionally real harm to someone in the room.

Plus the usual. Consistency, reach across shifts and sites, and completion records you can actually produce as evidence.

The weakness. No practice. Nobody rehearses interrupting a colleague or receiving a disclosure.

Cover that gap with something small and live afterwards, a manager briefing or a short structured team discussion, rather than by moving the whole programme into a room and losing the privacy advantage.

The Australian Human Rights Commission sets out the seven standards. This is general information rather than legal advice.
