USING PLAY NICE TO EDUCATE FOR RESPECT IN THE WORKPLACE

Sexual Harassment - Using 'Play Nice' to Educate

Identifying and dealing with sexual harassment in the workplace and beyond is often difficult and complicated for both victims and bystanders. In 'Play Nice: Playground Rules for Respect in the Workplace', we simplify the issue and provide elementary rules as tools to help men and women identify and stop sexual harassment in the moment. These rules are applicable to any work and non work environment.


In Play Nice we take a more elementary approach to identifying the typical violator, inappropriate behaviors, stopping them early, and avoiding them altogether. We give real life examples, offer peer and expert opinions on how to deal with violators, and emphasize the importance of bystander support—an easy to read playbook, educating employees and leadership in a simplified fashion, men and women alike.


Share Play Nice with your employees, friends and family and then invite open discussion to continue the conversation to help #changetheculture and foster an environment free of #sexualharassment, bullying, racism and discrimination.
