Workplace

Don’t just check a box, change a culture! A workplace culture rooted in positive engagement, collaboration, mutual respect, and safety is essential to employees feeling supported and having the agency to show up to work authentically. Our corporate training, Train-The-Trainer, and consulting options meet state anti-harassment mandates while offering tools, resources, and support for staff, management, and C-suite employees.

Our Approach

Catharsis Productions specializes in meeting today’s employees where they are and taking them to where they need to be, while helping them understand that harassment and discrimination are not wrong because they are illegal, they are illegal because they are wrong.

  • We produce innovative, accessible, and research-informed programming that shifts behavior and delivers results.

  • We know each organization brings its own strengths to the table, so we work to fill in the gaps; whether that be consulting, policy review and recommendations, content creation, training delivery, or surveys and evaluations.

  • Part of our overall approach centers on getting past the perfunctory. Any training effort in any subject must speak to the “why” behind it, helping employees understand how it supports their mission and the values they espouse.

  • Catharsis taps into institution values, framing core issues of respect, communication, and intervention as components of these values and prerequisites to trust and function as a team member.

Our Content

Part of our overall approach centers around a holistic respectful workplace because few social issues manifest in a vacuum. We acknowledge and address the intersectional nature of the issues while clarifying the necessary mandated definitions and examples. We demystify complex or intimidating topics with realistic and approachable conversations using analogies, facilitated discussion, group exercises, and real-life scenarios. This keeps respect at the forefront and makes hard conversations possible. We offer a variety of programming options, able to be conducted virtually or in-person, intentionally scaffolded to meet each employee where they are in their career and help arm them with the tools needed to improve their overall environment.

We possess significant expertise in the content knowledge and the delivery methodology necessary to produce and implement innovative prevention education that successfully engages diverse audiences on the topics of discrimination, harassment, and violence. Regardless of format or content, we rely heavily on several key components within all our efforts:

  • Audience Interaction

    Engages attendees and makes them part of learning process

  • Research Informed and Supported

    Remain constantly up to date on findings in relevant fields and regularly evaluate programs

  • Subject Matter Expertise

    Instructors and developers are thoroughly trained and can speak to the issue outside of a script

  • Facilitated Dialogue

    Peer to peer learning is most impactful

  • Humor and Accessibility

    Breaks down barriers and defensiveness

  • Comprehensive and Aligned Messaging

    Messages only work if they are reinforced by other programs, materials, and surrounding efforts

  • Efficacy

    Consistently survey, research, and consult with third-party researchers to maintain awareness of program impact and adjust when needed

These mechanisms function to create the most impactful curriculum possible and separate the Catharsis Productions approach from others in the field. Hiring external vendors to address complex social issues comes with a myriad of risks to your company. By partnering with Catharsis Productions, you can rest assured knowing you are collaborating with an industry leader who is unsurpassed in terms of past performance, quality, bandwidth, methodology, and audience impact.

    Not Suitable For Work/ Brain Freeze

    Ty and I were thrilled with the presentation. I thought it was informative without being heavy-handed or ‘blaming.’ I liked how the focus seemed to be that the mere fact of being privileged or having biases isn’t bad. It’s more about recognizing those things and then what you choose to do about/with them.
