Sexual Harassment Awareness Training Reviews

I thought this course was pitched extremely well, providing clear guidance on a difficult subject matter.

The instruction about looking people in the eye is based on an inappropriate cultural assumption. I know that many Americans in particular often think that any honest person will always look you in the eye, and if they don't then they are not being straight with you, but this is a) simply untrue, and b) not remotely something that you can assume will be part of people's upbringing. This is not a universal truth about good behaviour, but an assumption based on ignorance. I know some people try and oversimplify and employ NLP ideas they have read related to this, but this sort of concept is worryingly flawed. It certainly should not be part of any behavioural directions, particularly in a training setting. This type of material is liable to lead those people assuming that they have moral superiority to people who don't fit this behavioural 'rule'. To plenty of people, trying to make them look you in the eye is aggressive behaviour. I have known a Jamaican who was actively told off if they dared to look their superiors in the eye. It is also awkward for plenty of people with eye issues. To suggest this as the 'correct' or advised behaviour is offensive in itself
