Kantola News

In the years since the #MeToo movement went viral, it impacted the regulatory landscape and forever changed how we prioritize preventing harassment in the workplace. During that time, many companies have tried to create awareness and bring about change, including using harassment prevention training.

Did you know that anyone can be an active bystander? The city of Chicago believes in this so strongly that they have recently mandated organizations to provide bystander training for all employees. And we at Kantola are responding.

To be effective, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) starts with creating awareness and establishing a broad understanding of how employees can help cultivate a more inclusive work environment.

Kantola has been named a Top Workplace in San Francisco Bay Area Top Workplaces. This award recognizes companies that “make the world a better place to work together by prioritizing a people-centered culture and giving employees a voice.”

For 75 years, SHRM has served millions of HR professionals who-in turn have continued on to impact the lives of billions of workers across the world. When we attended SHRM22 in New Orleans last week, we celebrated the relationships formed over those years and how we can move forward collectively to make workplaces better, for everyone.

Kantola is honored to announce being awarded six Telly Awards for our Harassment Prevention and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion eLearning courses—produced in partnership with Littler, the world’s largest employment law firm.

The Senate approved legislation banning the practice of using clauses in employment contracts that force victims of sexual assault and harassment to pursue their cases in forced arbitration, which shields accused perpetrators.

With the development of a new online course, Kantola and Littler have embarked on a journey to take online workplace harassment prevention training to a whole new level of learning. Set against an evolving social climate, the course sensitively showcases relatable real-life interviews and authentic scenarios to make an especially effective connection to the learners.

The killing of George Floyd, according to Byna Elliott, turned our perceptions of DEI work from a distant aspiration, into something that organizations will be, and should be, held accountable for both by employees and customers.
