I had one of those "ah-ha" moments yesterday. I was at two different sites for one of our clients conducting training on 1. Prohibited Harassment and 2. Substance Abuse in the workplace. Sometimes (okay... a lot of the time) I get the impression that people would rather watch paint dry than to set through those sessions. That was not the case

yesterday. At both locations, the employees were attentive and interactive. They get it - they actually appreciated that their employer cared enough about them as employees to discuss these items and to tell them what to do if they had concerns about being harassed and where to turn for help if they (or a co-worker) have a substance abuse problem. After each session, I had several people come up and expressed how much they appreciated the sessions. The "ah-ha" for me is that training of this type is really more than just assuring compliance, it is also a way to show your employees that you care about them and are interested in their well-being and safety.
