Workplace Harassment Training
California’s Government Code requires employers with five or more workers to provide “classroom or other effective interactive training and education regarding sexual harassment” by December 31, 2020. All nonsupervisory personnel must receive at least one hour and supervisors must receive two hours minimum. Employers must then repeat the instruction every other year.
While at this writing the next deadline is more than 12 months off, the Government Code also requires employers of any size to take “all reasonable steps necessary to prevent discrimination and harassment from occurring.” Conducting the training sooner than last minute is certainly one of those reasonable steps.
We have delivered well-received on-site seminars to companies large and small since the 2006 imposition of such mandatory training. Ours is superior to online press-the-right-button programs, bringing real-life, live instruction on the identification, prevention and internal resolution of workplace harassment, discrimination and retaliation.
