Sexual Harassment Training
for Employees
Please Note:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
recently signed Assembly Bill 1825, which will require employers in
California with 50 or
more employees to provide two hours of training on the topic of sexual
harassment for all supervisory personnel. The initial training must be
completed by Jan.1, 2006 and repeated every two years. Please call us if you
need help complying with this new law.
Harassment in the workplace has taken a dramatic leap into public awareness.
This workshop is designed to help employees become more aware of what
constitutes harassment and develop strategies for resolving and preventing
harassment in the workplace. Today's laws make it clear that any form of sexual
or hostile harassment is illegal and exposes the organization and its members to
possible lawsuits and liability for punitive and compensatory damages.
Participants will address what sexual harassment or a hostile environment is and
what it is not. They will also discuss the effects of the Civil Rights Act of
1964 and 1991, and recent court decisions regarding harassment in the workplace.
This seminar will raise organizational awareness and set clear boundaries of
what are acceptable behaviors and what are unacceptable behaviors at work.
