Mandatory Sexual Harassment Prevention Training
California employers face a difficult question: are employees genuinely learning from sexual harassment prevention training, or just checking a box?
Every two years, employers with five or more on payroll must provide sexual harassment prevention training to California employees (on-site or remote). Supervisors must receive at least two hours; nonsupervisory employees must receive at least one hour. New hires must complete training within six months of hire.
The required instruction must include:
- Information and practical guidance on applicable federal and state law regarding prevention, correction and remedies for sexual harassment;
- “Practical examples aimed at instructing supervisors in the prevention of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation;” and
- Prevention of abusive conduct.
With nearly twenty years of classroom-style delivery by experienced employment-law attorneys, we offer live onsite and live webinar training.
In-person classroom-style and live interactive webinars significantly outperform point-and-click e-training:
- Real time interaction with the trainer, with opportunities to apply principles to specific work conditions;
- Immediate answers to questions that benefit all attendees;
- Employees will be called on randomly throughout, which means they typically pay closer attention;
- Live in-person or virtual training confirms company commitment to effectively addressing and preventing unlawful or inappropriate workplace conduct;
- Proper emphasis on what matters most in real scenarios; and
- By the bulk of feedback we’ve received, our live sessions are engaging and effective.
Feedback from a recent seminar:
“They did anti-harassment training with our office and it was great. Having the in-person training was a lot better in my opinion and the employees had good feedback. I highly recommend them for any of your legal needs. Thank you!” – MK
