Sexual Harassment Prevention for SMEs

An HR client needed a Sexual Harassment Prevention course designed specifically for SMEs.

The trigger wasn’t new — compliance training has always been required — but new and evolving regulations increased the urgency to get it right.

Existing training options were:

  • Overly long and heavy

  • Written in inaccessible, corporate language

  • Focused on policy, not real-world behaviour

  • Difficult for time-poor SME teams to engage with

The risk?
Tick-box completion without real understanding, leaving organisations exposed and employees unsupported.

Business Challenge:

Solution:

  • Jessanol designed a focused, SME-friendly digital learning experience that balanced compliance with real-world application.

    The approach centred on:

    • Clear, accessible language (no legal overload)

    • Practical guidance for both employees and managers

    • Prompts to support meaningful workplace conversations

    • “How-to” guidance on handling situations and following procedures

  • Fully digital, flexible learning for busy teams

  • Built in Articulate Rise, the course is:

    • Fully responsive

    • Accessible across devices

    • Easy to complete in short, focused sessions

Return on Investment:

  • While early in deployment, the course is designed to deliver:

    • Reduced organisational risk through better understanding of responsibilities

    • Increased confidence in recognising and responding to inappropriate behaviour

    • More open, informed workplace conversations

    • A shift from tick-box compliance to meaningful engagement

The Experience Design

Two mobile phones showing the simulation in the Sexual Harassment Prevention course, showing the opening page and partway through the story, with dialogue from two characters on show.

This wasn’t designed as a policy walkthrough — it was built as a behaviour-led learning experience.

Learners move through:

  • Chunked content designed for time-sensitive environments

  • Interactive elements to maintain engagement

  • Realistic scenarios reflecting workplace situations

  • Reflective moments to encourage personal awareness

  • A robust assessment to confirm understanding and support compliance

The tone is supportive, practical, and grounded in reality — helping learners understand not just what the rules are, but what to actually do.
