Sexual Harassment Compliance Training
This training is designed to satisfy your CA AB 1825 2053, 396, and 1343 training requirements. It will help your staff learn how to stop bullying, harassment, and retaliation in the workplace using behavioral psychology techniques.
This is not your standard harassment training that covers the law but doesn’t provide your staff with actionable intelligence. Instead, this course teaches them how they can change their behavior, regain control, and actually protect themselves if they are a victim.
Recent changes to CA Law not only require you to provide harassment training to supervisors. You are now required to provide training to all employees and include information on how to stop abusive behavior in the workplace as well as specific information on harassment related to gender identity and preference.
Our training complies with AB 1825, and SB 1343. training options. And … because our courses already focus on how to eliminate bullying and harassment in the workplace, they are AB 2053 and SB396 compliant as well.
CA Training Requirements: AB 1825, (California Government Code 12950.1) mandates that employers who do business in California and employ 50 or more employees provide a minimum of two hours of sexual harassment prevention training to supervisors located in California at least once every two years.
SB 1343 Amended that law and as of Jan 2020 all employers with 5 or more employees must now provide at least 2 hours of sexual harassment training to all supervisory employees and at least one hour of sexual harassment training to all non-supervisory employees by January 1, 2020, and once every 2 years thereafter.
California statute (AB2053) requires that employers also provide bullying prevention and elimination training as part of the required AB 1825 training. Our programs are ideally suited to fill this requirement because the majority of the course focuses on preventing and eliminating bullying in the workplace.
And, as of Jan 2018, sexual harassment training must also now include information about harassment based on gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. (SB 396)
While this training is specific to California law, if you do business in CA – it is a good idea to train all your supervisors and staff so that you don’t open your company up to a different standards lawsuit.
The training must be at least 2 hours long and provided by a qualified provider with at least 2 years of experience providing harassment training. New supervisors must be trained within 6 months of hire and you must keep records that they received training.
