Once I went to a sexual/workplace harassment training at a little college while I was doing my postdoc. The guy doing it was very experienced and down to earth (which helps). And one thing he said really stuck with me:
"This training is not about telling you not to harass in the workplace. You already know that. It's about learning how to handle harassment cases sensitively if they come to your attention."
Needless to say, workplace harassment does happen, so it's good to at least understand your institutional options, should they become relevant.
