Details:
This course is designed to raise awareness about workplace harassment and discrimination, and reduce or prevent incidents of misconduct. Effective January 1, 2019, California businesses with 5 or more employees MUST provide harassment prevention training every two years (SB1343).
On August 30, 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 778. This bill was effective immediately and extended the deadline for employers with five (5) or more employees to provide anti-harassment training by one year – from January 1, 2020 until January 1, 2021. It also allows covered employers who have provided anti-harassment training in 2019 to wait until 2021 before providing refresher training.
This training expresses your organization’s strong disapproval of any form of harassment and discrimination based on a variety of “protected characteristics” under state and federal law. This course also helps employees identify the difference between legal discrimination and an illegal “hostile environment”, promotes appropriate behavior, and reduces the potential for harassment, discrimination and retaliation claims.
