It includes a supervisor module and an employee module and covers the legal issues and the underlying respect issues.

I haven't seen the "The Plus of Us" but I'd give that a look as well based on the quality of other MLS products.
The deeper issue, of course, is the effectiveness of these programs. If Frank has seen "40-50 of these over the past 20 years", one must wonder whether they work at all based on his documented behavior.
However...
Every time my last employer lost a class-action or individual harassment suit, everyone in the whole company had to watch the plaintiff attorney's pet video as part of the settlement. So some department head in a store out in California would get popped for being a neanderthal, and a few hundred thousand people across the country would have to watch a harassment video the next week. I saw a LOT of videos that way.
Had a chance to view "In this Together" video in its entirety. Its simple, direct and common sense orientation was on target for our purposes. Many thanks.
Brad,
Other than a 2 minute offering of "The Plus of Us" I was unable to view this video in its entirety without ordering on a 30 day money back guarantee. This is inconvenient--folks want to test drive in full instantly, not order, wait for it to come in, view, and if not what we were looking for return in the mail and then keep looking: it is simply not practical in today's instant age.
Its practical, humorous, and current. The acting is good and the styles of clothes are contemporary.
It has some very simple but easy to remember principles such as the "Grandmother Rule". Never say anything to a co-worker of the opposite sex that you wouldn't say to your grandmother.
