Sexual harassment at work is more than a legal issue. It is fundamentally a behavioral problem. PATTERNS takes on the behavioral challenge, arming employees and managers with the information they need to prevent sexual harassment and the tools that will help them to respond when incidents occur.

Through a series of short dramatizations this series describes common patterns of illegal or inappropriate behavior at work and how best to respond. We explore "the habitual harasser", "the smitten harasser", "the bully", and "the jilted harasser". We also examine problematic management responses to harassment incidents, including "the ostrich", "the chameleon", "the wounded tiger" and "the mother hen". Lawyers and HR professionals review each situation and present positive alternatives.

Program 1: Preventing Sexual Harassment, looks at 4 common patterns of inappropriate behavior- the habitual harasser, the smitten harasser, the bully, and the jilted harasser. How we respond to harassment will be most effective when we recognize why the behavior is occurring. This program arms employees with information and insights to help them determine the best way to get the behavior to stop.   A series of dramatizations bring each pattern to life.   Attorneys, human resource professionals and a troupe of exceptional actors take us through the legal, psychological, cultural and moral issues.
Program 1 is available in English or Spanish versions. There is also a Spanish guide available.

Program 2: Responding to Sexual Harassment, is an extension of the first program in both style and content, and we recommend that managers view both parts of the series.   Program 2 examines the legal liability issues and questions of personal responsibility that managers and supervisors must face. Using dramatizations, we explore different patterns of how managers often respond to sexual harassment incidents, including "the ostrich", "the chameleon", "the wounded tiger" and "the mother hen" and present more effective alternatives. Finally we discuss how incidents should be investigated and best resolved.

Program 3: Rights & Responsibilities, is a brief introduction to the issue of sexual harassment prevention intended for new employees.  This orientation program describes what sexual harassment is, how it is damaging to the person being harassed, the harasser, the workgroup and the organization, and what an employees rights and responsibilities are in this area.
Program 3 is available in English or Spanish versions. There is also a Spanish guide available.

Each program in the series can stand alone and may be purchased separately. There are volume discounts if you purchase the entire series or multiple copies of any program.

The Training Scenes version of the program is now available.   This version includes dramatized scenes from all the programs in the series (8 all together) and put them together on a single video. There is no expert commentary on this program, just the scenarios. There is a new facilitation guide for The Training Scenes program as well.

DVD versions now available. If you already own the VHS version of this program, another copy in DVD is only $100! Also, if you purchase a VHS and a DVD version of this program at the same time, the DVD version will only be $100 (rather than the usual $625 price).

AWARDS

Patterns is one of Training Media Review's Best Products of 2003!
PATTERNS, a harassment prevention training series, was awarded the Editor's Choice award for the year. In his comments, TMR editor Bill Ellet said...
I feel compelled to choose a product, a video/DVD, that stands for much more than a particular training production in a particular year. It represents a body of work that distinguishes the producer for persistence, high quality, and in-sight into human issues insidiously characterized as “soft skills.”
I’m talking about PATTERNS from Robert and Pat Rosell at Quality Media Resources. This diversity program is a worthy successor to QMR’s Subtle Sexual Harassment, The Respectful Workplace, Millennium, and You Can STOP Harassment. The Rosells and their ensemble of actors breathe life into the common formula of precept and vignette with skill in writing, acting, and filmmaking. We’re fortunate to have artists who can teach.
