We're Glad You're Here
We are an innovative woman-owned workplace development consulting firm based in Santa Barbara, CA. We offer inspiring training solutions that will show your employees you care about maintaining a positive, productive workplace environment.
Safe, Respectful Workplaces
Through proven methods, Goldtree delivers an interactive sexual harassment prevention training that meets all the requirements of SB 1343 and focuses on:
-
Creating positive, shared workplace values.
-
Identifying potentially dangerous interactions along a continuum of behaviors.
-
Developing strategies for interrupting inappropriate or unsafe behaviors in the workplace.
Leadership Empowerment
Our specialized leadership training will equip your management team with the tools they need to:
-
Build a culture in which their team members feel safe reporting concerns around discrimination and harassment.
-
Respond appropriately if a staff member approaches them to discuss harassment or discrimination of any kind.
Evaluation Packages
​We have a variety of customized evaluation packages to meet your needs including:
Needs assessment surveys to measure what your staff really need and want to learn.​
Impact evaluation surveys to show you what your staff learned and how they are applying their new knowledge and skills in the workplace.​​
​Ongoing monitoring and support to provide relevant training as required.
Checking the box might meet the government requirements, but it's not the solution.
OUR APPROACH
FOCUSES ON SOFT SKILLS
Workplace development training doesn't work when the focus is on rules and regulations. Our focus on soft skills will ultimately lead to a healthier workplace culture. Typical session topics include:
-
Initiating difficult conversations.
-
Exploring personal and workplace values.
-
Identifying growth zones.
ALWAYS INCLUSIVE
Our sessions discuss the unique needs and challenges related to sexual harassment for your diverse workforce including:
Gender identities
Sexual orientations
Races
Ages
Your entire staff will feel included and encouraged to share their perspectives related to sexual harassment and abuse.
MEETSÂ DIVERSE NEEDS
Our expertise lies in our ability to adapt training to meet the diverse needs of your workforce. We have trained large and small groups of diverse staff in the U.S., Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
Training can be conducted in Spanish upon request.
COMPLIES WITH REGULATIONS
With the rise of the #MeToo movement, California is working toward harassment-free workplaces by adopting a new law, SB 1343. This law requires that organizations with five employees or more provide sexual harassment prevention training to all employees by January 1, 2021.
Let Goldtree Training design and deliver a training that won't just tick the box but that will have your staff engaged and excited about building a more positive workplace culture.
​
WHAT SETS US APART

A compassionate space for dialogue and personal reflection.
A highly interactive, activity-based design.
No jargon or lectures.
Relevant content optimized for your team.
Actionable and practical skills to enable real change.
Skilled facilitators your staff can trust.
