Trainings

Workplace harassment prevention goes beyond having policies in place. Organizations must know how to implement them effectively, respond to complaints appropriately, and fulfill their legal obligations while fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive work environment.

Join this practical webinar to gain a clearer understanding of the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act (RA 7877) and the Safe Spaces Act (RA 11313), including their application to peer-to-peer interactions and online workplace harassment. Learn how to strengthen institutional policies, establish and manage a Committee on Decorum and Investigation (CODI), and handle harassment complaints through trauma-informed procedures that uphold due process and confidentiality.

This session will equip participants with actionable knowledge to translate legal requirements into effective workplace practices, reduce compliance risks, and build a culture of accountability and respect. This training offers essential guidance for organizations committed to protecting their people and meeting their responsibilities under Philippine law.

Move beyond compliance on paper. Gain the practical knowledge to prevent harassment, respond with confidence, and create safer workplaces.
