Preventing and Responding to Sexual Harassment: Manager Responsibilities

This course is designed to support managers in understanding their role when sexual harassment concerns arise in the workplace. As a manager, you may become aware of concerns in many different ways — through a formal complaint, an informal conversation, something you observe directly, information shared by a third party, or a request for anonymity. How you respond in those early moments matters.


This course focuses on what managers are expected to do, how to respond appropriately, and how to ensure concerns are handled fairly, sensitively, and in line with organisational processes. It does not teach disciplinary decision‑making. Instead, it explains how a manager’s actions connect to investigation processes, HR involvement, and the organisation’s wider responsibility to maintain a safe and respectful workplace.
