The Office of Human Rights (OHR) provides basic EEO training that can be tailored for both managers and/or employees. This training provides an overview of the workplace EEO laws that cover all employees. In addition, attendees will learn about the specific EEO laws enforced by the District of Columbia including the Human Rights Act and the District of Columbia Family and Medical Leave Act. This training consists of a lecture and film to help managers and employees comply with the guidelines that constitute non-discriminatory behavior in the workplace.


Diversity Training

OHR provides diversity training for managers and employees. This training is designed to increase participant awareness of the impact diversity has on the workplace. Attendees will have the opportunity to reflect on their own stereotypes and biases through group interaction, while gaining an understanding of how stereotypes and biases affect behavior. This training can be tailored to include a focus on cultural competency and complying with the Districts' Language Access Act. The film and discussion provide specific case studies to illustrate the provisions of the Act.


Sexual Harassment Training

OHR also provides sexual harassment training for managers and employees. The training is centered on the provisions of the District of Columbia's sexual harassment policy. Attendees have the opportunity to learn what constitutes sexual harassment while learning how to recognize the different types of sexual harassment. Through film and thought-provoking case studies, this interactive training provides real world examples of how sexual harassment manifests itself in the workplace. Upon completion of the session, attendees will receive practical suggestions for preventing sexual harassment in the workplace.
