Office of Compliance FY2017 Annual Report - 9

SEXUAL HARASSMENT

The OOC met a vastly increased
demand for in-person training in
congressional offices at the end
of 2017. In a six-week period
beginning in November 2017, the
OOC recorded:
■■

■■

■■

■■

a triple-digit percent increase
in the number of anti-sexual
harassment in-person trainings
requested by offices;
a triple-digit percent spike in the
number of staffers enrolling in
online training modules;
twice as many visits to the OOC's
web resources about how to
report sexual harassment; and
a significant increase in the
number of people subscribing to
OOC social media channels and
e-Alerts for updates on rights and
responsibilities designed to protect
workers against sexual harassment,
discrimination, and retaliation.

At the request of the Senate
Committee on Rules and
Administration, the OOC offered
training seminars to meet the
requirements of Senate Resolution
330. Many Senate offices and
committees invited the OOC to
deliver in-person training, which
often included state office staff
joining via video conference. The
OOC offered a 40-minute, interactive
module "Preventing Discrimination,
Harassment, and Retaliation in the
Congressional Workplace" as an
online training option for Senate staff.
In addition to training, the OOC
created a new dispute resolution
brochure for the Senate and a new
Notification of Rights poster for the
House. The OOC hopes to build on
its new connections with employing
offices and continue to assist staff in
meaningful ways in FY18.

" The speaker
was incredible.
Our office
has a much
better grasp
of these
issues now."
- Congressional staffer in survey
response about OOC's in-person
training on sexual harassment

House Resolution 630 requires all House offices
to prominently post a statement of employee
rights and protections under the CAA.
