Are Your Employees Trained in Harassment Prevention?

As you know by now, as a result of SB 1343 the State of California requires that all employers with more than 5 employees to provide Sexual Harassment Prevention Training by video or live in person at least 2 hours of training to all supervisory employees and at least one hour to all non-supervisory employees every 2 years.

Why is this so important?
Many Reasons, including compliance, liability protection and to help make your workplace a better environment for everyone.

Over the last few years, we’ve seen more and more issues related to hostile work environment, bullying and harassment. When times are tough, employee situations can quickly become volatile. It’s critical that you ensure all employees have gone through training and understand what constitutes inappropriate behavior and how it can affect co-workers.

Requirements for Employers
To recap SB 1343, California law requires all employers of 5 or more employees to provide training to its supervisory and nonsupervisory employees on sexual harassment and abusive conduct prevention every two years. Non-Supervisory employees must receive at least one hour of training and supervisory employees must receive at least two hours of training.
