The Quick and Dirty
Many organizations require employees to take sexual harassment training. But the evidence shows, it isn't really working. This article takes a cold hard look at why and suggests that organizations need to take a broader, cultural perspective to understand why these training efforts are failing. Using an I/O psychology lens, we talk about the specific cultural elements, including leadership, peer support, post-training practice, and trainee attitudes, as well as issues with training design and measurement that are limiting the effectiveness, and our knowledge of the effectiveness, of sexual harassment training. |
The Quick and Dirty
The medical profession is littered with instances of sexual harassment and assault with regard to both doctor-patient, and doctor-doctor relationships. Our commentary explores the themes presented across a dozen narratives by brave surgeons who shared their stories of experiences of sexual harassment in the surgical profession. Through these shocking stories, we found that women still feel pressure to be "just right," often don't report sexual harassment for fear of being labeled a "troublemaker," and share their stories through whisper networks. More troubling, these women face a toxic, berating culture in which sexual harassment limits their career advancement. |
