By January, 1, 2020, companies with 5 or more full-time, part-time or temporary employees must provide a 1-hour training on prevention of sexual harassment/abusive conduct within 6 months of hire and every 2 years thereafter. Training of employees is an important component of a strong sexual harassment and abusive conduct prevention program. This class is for employees who do not have management or supervisory responsibilities. Topics covered in this class include a review of the state and federal laws regarding harassment and sexual harassment, what does and does not constitute sexual harassment / abusive conduct in the workplace, who may be considered in the role of harasser/victim, the role of the employee in a sexual harassment situation and the correct action steps to take in the event of a situation, practical examples of gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation discrimination.
