SOUTH HOLLAND, Ill. (November 12, 2020) – The Business & Career Institute (BCI) of South Suburban College presents a virtual webinar entitled Crucial Conversations: Recognizing & Addressing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace on Wednesday, December 2 from 9:00 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.

Allegations of sexual harassment and workplace misconduct have permeated the news in the last few years. As a result, Governor Pritzker mandated all Illinois businesses to provide sexual harassment training for all employees at least once a year, starting in 2020. Behavioral health occupations requiring an Illinois license are also mandated to attend this training. Webinar moderator Alexandra Glumac, HR consultant, will address three crucial questions:

  1. What is sexual harassment?
  2. What do you do if you experience or witness it?
  3. Whose responsibility is it to stop it?

There are continuing education credits (1) available for Licensed Professional Counselors, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors, Licensed Social Workers and Licensed Clinical Social workers, meeting the criteria for these professionals regarding sexual harassment training. PDCs (1) are also available for SHRM-CP & SHRM-SCP holders. Certificates of completion will be available upon request for individuals representing other industries, to satisfy Governor Pritzker’s mandate.

The cost is $25 per person; $20 per person if three or more from the same company attend (add $10 surcharge for CEU’s or PDC’s). The workshop will be held virtually and reservations are required. To register, please email [email protected] or call (708) 225-6055. RSVP required by 12 noon on Monday, November 30. For additional information please call (708) 596-2000, ext. 3254 or email [email protected].

Sponsoring partners include UChicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial and South Suburban Cook Human Resources Association.
