Philly.com- When voters enter the booth Tuesday in Philadelphia, they’ll be asked: Should Philadelphia mandate all city workers receive sexual-harassment training?
Considering the seismic #MeToo movement’s effects in every corner of the working world, that might seem to be a no-brainer. But what would that training actually look like? And would it prevent sexual harassment?
At this point, no one knows.
Experts in sexual-harassment training say it’s effective at preventing sexual harassment and empowering employees to report only if designed properly. Some research shows that it can even have the opposite effect: In the worst cases, these training programs can be detrimental to reporting environments and even empower people doing the harassing.
In a bit of a Catch-22, voters won’t know whether they will be paying for the effective or ineffective variety: The city’s training program won’t be designed “until we get the official green light from voters,” said Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown, who sponsored legislation authorizing the ballot question.
