As with any industry, changes in the workforce has created an environment where harassment in the workplace can and does happen. The Belarde Company takes this topic seriously and held a first-ever harassment training class for both its field and office employees. The training was conducted by subject matter expert Kathy Iverson of Archbright . The presentation covered the different forms of harassment and how it impacts both the individual and a company as a whole. The construction industry as a whole suffers from a workforce shortage. This type of training is one of several tools that the Belarde Company has begun to incorporate to create a company culture that continually strives to maintain and improve a positive working environment for all its employees.
