Couldn’t agree more. The last SH training I went through focused entirely on threatening punishment, and I couldn’t help but think to myself that anyone attending who was a bad actor would either 1. Not feel as though their actions were problematic or 2. Not feel as though they would ever get caught. There was cursory time dedicated to humanizing the victim and that was it. Felt like changing the curtains when the apartment was on fire.
I don’t know how one would go about this in a group format, but my thought is that there needs to be more attention to WHY a harasser harasses and giving them the opportunity to confront that, help them grow past that behavior without condoning it. That’s a way bigger issue involving mental health, societal pressure, lack of company resources or training, etc, but this is a great look at why what we’re doing now is not working.
