Harassment prevention training for supervisors is mandated for any California company with 50 or more employees.
Harassment complaints made up nearly one-third of the 90,000 complaints filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in 2015 (Report of the Co-Chairs of the EEOC Select Task Force on the Study of Harassment in the Workplace, June 2016).
Since harassment is a major source of litigation in California, one of the best ways to avoid problems is by educating and training your entire workforce.
Companies with less than 50 employees should train to reduce the risk of an expensive harassment lawsuit—even more so now that new FEHA rules as of April 1, 2016, highlight an employer’s affirmative duty to take reasonable steps to prevent and promptly correct harassing, discriminatory and retaliatory conduct in the workplace, regardless of size.
Harassment in the workplace can damage your employee's morale and your company's effectiveness. That's why it's so important to purchase harassment prevention training which is current, relevant and meets California's compliance requirements.
While the majority of sexual harassment complaints are filed by women, in recent years the number of complaints filed by men has rapidly increased.
