Become a harassment referent in the company

The last few years and those to follow represent the peak of awareness of the impact of psychosocial risks, both from the point of view of the economic health of the company and the physical and moral health of its employees. Of all the psychosocial risks, harassment-related issues are perhaps the most sensitive and the most complex to identify.

This training circuit is based on the interaction between field experience and the latest scientific research on the topic of interest. It offers to help companies set up harassment referents who will be trained to conduct interviews with the various stakeholders concerned, to evaluate and characterize certain behaviors as harassment or not, and to write reports that will allow these cases to be entered into the company's history, in order to analyze them, learn from them, and move forward in the process of preventing this phenomenon, in the same way as the analysis of occupational accidents.
