BridgeFront, a national leader in compliance education, announces its new Sexual Harassment Prevention I and II courses - designed to help organizations combat the constant barrage of sexual harassment lawsuits and negative media exposure. These courses teach staff and their management how to prevent, recognize and mitigate sexual harassment in the workplace.

"We see it every day in the news. Companies, politicians, and even the church are involved in claims of sexual harassment," says Peter N. Cizik, CEO of BridgeFront.
