Rory Gerberg: Helping Organizations Prevent Workplace Sexual Harassment and Build More Inclusive Cultures
 

Rory Gerberg is a nationally recognized expert who consults and trains on workplace sexual harassment prevention, as well as the challenges of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Rory is the Founder & CEO of Advance Beyond Compliance, a boutique consulting and training firm that supports organizations in solving the REAL sexual harassment problem. Rory repeatedly encoutered organizations thinking their "sexual harassment problem" was that their organization could be out of compliance with state laws. But really it’s that individuals, managers, and leaders in organizations lack the insight, tools and skills to address harassment, and avoid it in the first place. Rory founded Advance Beyond Compliance to solve that REAL problem. Her engagements prompt meaningful changes in attitudes, skills, management behavior, and leadership practices that improve organizational performance.

Rory specializes in helping three types of clients:  

  • Mission-driven organizations looking to build inclusive cultures

  • Small forward-looking non-profits seeking to live their values

  • Mid-sized technology companies working to create an environment that fosters women’s mentorship and advancement in the face of ‘bro culture’
