Description:
External stakeholders can influence workplace climate. This module covers risk factors, contract language, reporting avenues, and coordination with suppliers and partners to prevent harassment. You will learn how to manage third-party interactions while upholding internal standards.
Individual Impacts
Harassment harms psychological safety, increases stress, and can lead to anxiety, burnout, or depression. It reduces concentration, motivation, and wellbeing, contributing to higher turnover risk.
Team Impacts
Harassment lowers trust and collaboration. Information sharing may decline, morale suffers, and overall team performance and innovation can drop as fear or defensiveness rise.
Case example: In a team with ongoing microaggressions, collaboration declines, meetings become guarded, and deadlines slip due to fear of conflict and reduced participation.
