The Civil Treatment® Series
ELI®’s award-winning Civil Treatment® series of programs communicates policy and responsibilities related to diversity and fair employment practices as crucial elements of the business’s overall success. Rather than emphasizing the minutiae of myriad laws and legal requirements, the programs focus on motivating behavior change in the workplace and building skills that foster teamwork and collegial, productive operations. By engaging participants in the learning and providing simple behavioral guidelines that align with policy, values, and the law, the training goes beyond raising awareness; it equips managers and employees with practical skills for preventing, detecting, and correcting workplace harassment and discrimination – skills they can apply every day at work. Key concepts are reinforced as participants see firsthand how their behavior impacts the business mission and goals.
With courses for managers and employees, in addition to targeted executive sessions, Civil Treatment programs enable your organization to deliver a consistent message about expectations, roles, and responsibilities at every level. Additionally, the programs support your efforts to build accountability at all levels by:
- Establishing a foundation for legal, professional workplace behavior
- Communicating and reinforcing your company's policies, values, and expectations
- Providing practical tools and guidelines that can be applied to a wide range of workplace issues, including harassment, discrimination, retaliation, bullying, reductions in force, employee accommodations, and many others
- Building skills to ensure workplace issues are handled promptly and appropriately –from decision making and hiring to documentation, coaching, and investigating
