Introduction to the In-Box Learning Tool for Harassment Prevention

The In-Box Learning Tool for Harassment Prevention is now available, developed by the In-Box Learning Institute, a pioneer in educational tools that assess essential competencies needed by leaders in organizations. In Japan, this institute has delivered over 40,000 educational materials nationwide each year, focusing on self-improvement, training, and assessments. The newly introduced tool is designed to raise awareness among employees about unconscious harassment behaviors in the workplace through practical, hands-on learning experiences.

What is the In-Box Learning Tool?

The In-Box Learning Tool allows participants to simulate the role of a manager at a fictitious company for 45 minutes. During this time, they must address ten realistic workplace scenarios, such as guiding subordinates, managing staff on leave, and handling customer complaints. This engaging simulation not only evaluates whether participants can apply what they have learned in training but also brings to light any unconscious harassment behaviors they may exhibit.

Additionally, the toolkit is accompanied by a workbook supervised by Takeshi Miyamoto, a licensed clinical psychologist and the author of _Anatomy of Harassment_. This includes a checklist to verify if responses constitute harassment, along with examples of both harassing and non-harassing responses.

Addressing the Challenges of Harassment Education

Despite the increasing emphasis on harassment education in corporate settings, many organizations encounter significant challenges. Regular training often fails to mitigate the occurrence of harassment in real-world scenarios. Common issues include:

• - Participants viewing harassment issues as distant or unrelated to themselves.
• - Ineffective testing tools that do not facilitate self-awareness about individual harassment tendencies.
• - Trainings that remain confined to historical case studies and legal knowledge without practical application.
• - Case studies that lack realism, making it difficult for participants to visualize applying what they’ve learned.

Such shortcomings stem from a focus on input-based education rather than output-oriented training that emphasizes practical application. The In-Box Learning Tool has been hailed as the ultimate solution for this output-focused education model.

Features of the In-Box Learning Tool

1. Awareness of Unconscious Behaviors: The timed nature of the simulation prompts participants to recognize their own subconscious behaviors that may contribute to harassment in the workplace.
2. Realistic Learning: The scenarios are crafted to reflect common managerial experiences, enabling participants to test their ability to apply learned concepts effectively.
3. Diverse Harassment Situations: This tool encompasses various kinds of harassment, including power harassment, sexual harassment, and the emerging issue of customer harassment, ensuring comprehensiveness in education.
4. Best for Managing Subordinates: It highlights the importance of effective subordinate guidance while maintaining sensitivity to harassment, enriching managerial skills without compromising their roles.
5. Expert Supervision for Credibility: With supervision from an experienced psychologist, the accompanying explanatory materials enhance understanding and retention of the content.

Practical Applications

The In-Box Learning Tool is versatile in its applications. It can be employed to test how well the concepts covered in harassment training can be practically realized. Furthermore, it fosters initial self-awareness about personal harassment tendencies, paving the way for deeper learning through structured lectures. Designed for both professional and personal development, it can be easily integrated into any educational program, with detailed reflection materials suitable for individual study. Each workbook is priced at 3,000 yen (tax included 3,300 yen).
