About this course

This course explains what harassment and discrimination are, how to recognize them, including online and in hybrid work, and what bystanders can do. It covers how to report a concern, and includes a lesson for supervisors on their duty to act when they see, hear or are told about harassment. It’s written for every employee, with national supplements starting with Finland.

Harassment often goes unreported because people aren’t sure whether what they saw “counts”, don’t know how to report it, or worry about the consequences. Supervisors who hear about it may not realize they’re expected to act, or don’t know what to do first. When concerns are ignored or handled badly, people get hurt, trust breaks down, and the organization faces legal, reputational and people costs.

  • Scenarios and a knowledge check
  • Web and mobile app, including offline

It supports one, where a rule asks that people are trained on the subject, and TechClass records who completed it. Whether a requirement is met depends on your own policies and processes, so that is a question for your compliance lead or legal adviser.

Library courses are ready to use as they are. You can build and fully edit your own courses in TechClass, including from your own policies with the AI Course Creator, and combine both in one learning program.
