Free Online Seminar: Understanding Workplace Harassment Structures

On February 4, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, a free online seminar titled "Structures of Workplace Ignorance: Understanding Harassment Dynamics Through Latest Data" will take place. This event, a collaboration between Asmark Inc., which provides HR services through their platform Humap, and Persol Innovation's Comic Learning Company, promises to shed light on the often-overlooked issues of workplace harassment.

The seminar aims to explore why, despite various preventative measures like training and establishment of reporting channels, the voices of employees suffering from harassment continue to go unheard. There are instances where employees witness harassment but fail to act, leading to a scenario many describe as "looking the other way." This behavior isn't always due to a lack of awareness among employees. Often, psychological barriers such as feeling uncomfortable to speak up or intervening, along with some organizational structures that discourage open communication, play a vital role.

Seminar Insights

The session will provide insights into the organizational reasons and realities behind the reluctance of employees to report harassment. By analyzing various data points, it will reveal how the "looking the other way" phenomenon manifests in workplaces and discuss effective strategies to transition from mere observation to proactive action. Key aspects of transforming workplace culture and ensuring that harassment prevention measures are effective will be highlighted, providing a "next step" toolkit for organizations looking to address this critical issue.

This seminar is particularly beneficial for:

• - HR professionals facing persistent harassment issues despite apparent efforts to address them.
• - Managers and supervisors dealing with either a lack of harassment reports or challenges in utilizing their support channels.
