A:
I understand your concern about feeling the training video shows bias. While workplace harassment can affect people of any gender, race, or orientation, your options for pursuing action against the video producer may be limited since they created content commissioned by your employer.
If you believe the video demonstrates discriminatory bias, you could document specific examples and share these concerns with your HR department or workplace diversity officer. They have the direct relationship with the training vendor and can provide feedback. You might suggest they request more diverse and representative scenarios in future training materials.
Rather than pursuing legal action, which would be challenging since you're not in direct contract with the producer, consider proposing constructive solutions. You could volunteer to join your company's DEI committee or help review future training materials to ensure they show harassment scenarios affecting all demographics. This approach helps create positive change while maintaining professional relationships.
