For me it was the additional knowledge that I gained/heard about the ways that we can tell when harassment is actually harassment and not something else; the types of harassment and how they work; the possible ways to downscale/manage a situation like this.

First of all, I want to thank Zornitsa for her professionalism and for engaging our staff so effectively. The materials were top-notch, and the time spent was both engaging and went by in a flash. What I found most valuable was learning how to build a genuinely safe environment for employees. The training went way beyond standard anti-harassment rules—it offered deep, practical insights into everyday communication and fostering a culture of trust.
