California takes sexual harassment very seriously, and it is against the law. Despite greater awareness of sexual harassment and its harms, many workers are still subjected to harassment because of their sex or other protected characteristic. These trainings are legally required and designed to educate or remind everyone about what is – and is not – acceptable behavior in the workplace. California law specifies: “An employer… shall provide” sexual harassment and abusive conduct prevention training, per Government Code section 12950.1(a)-(b). It is the employer’s responsibility to provide the required training, including any costs that may be incurred. This language also makes clear that employees may not be required to take such training during their personal time; the training must be “provided” by the employer as part of an individual’s employment.
California law (Government Code section 12950.1) requires that all employers of 5 or more employees provide training to their employees regarding sexual harassment and abusive conduct prevention. Every two years, non-supervisory employees must receive 1 hour of training and supervisors must receive 2 hours of training. An employer is required to train its California-based employees so long as it employs 5 or more employees anywhere, even if they do not work at the same location and even if not all of them work or reside in California.
This Workplace Harassment Awareness training course helps participants to quickly learn how to carefully and correctly handle workplace harassment issues and complaints. Participants will learn to identify, prevent and take action in dealing with potential or actual sexual harassment issues. Workplace Harassment Awareness is a highly participatory course and focuses directly on improving management skills of participants so that they can handle any sexual harassment issue or complaint with much greater confidence.
Some of the important topics discuss will include:
- Identifying ways to stop sexual harassment behavior and issues.
- Identifying the difference between sexual harassment and discrimination.
- Distinguishing between the work and social environments and identify boundaries.
- Minimizing conflict and maximize the effectiveness of employees who handle sexual harassment complaints.
- Recognizing correct and incorrect behavior.
- Using interviewing techniques to draw out information from all involved parties.
