WHY WE WROTE PLAY NICE

Brigitte Kimichik • August 5, 2020

Sexual Harassment - Why we wrote 'Play Nice'

We wrote  'Play Nice: Playground Rules for Respect in the Workplace'  to help women and men deal with sexual harassment in the workplace immediately when it occurs — as a victim or bystander — to stop the behavior in its tracks, and to help women draw a line of respect and professionalism when it comes to

bad behavior.



Play Nice uses real examples, provides tools on how to deal with violators, emphasizes the importance of bystander support (male and female), and offers peer opinions on how to deal with violators—educating employees and their leadership, men and women alike.


Share Play Nice with your employees, friends and family and then invite open discussion to continue the conversation to help #changetheculture and foster an environment free of #sexualharassment.


What will you do today to tackle sexual harassment  and be #beupstanding to help #changetheculture for an environment without #sexualharassment? Join us for further discussion of how to play nice at  www.thesandboxseries.com and check out our book 'Play Nice'.
