Act Now to Train Your Employees on Harassment Prevention

Last Chance for Mandatory Harassment Prevention for 2009!

It only takes one – one innuendo, one miscommunication, one inappropriate touch, one uncomfortable person, one complaint – for an employee to file a harassment lawsuit.

Preventative Training and Zero-Tolerance Programs Work

Companies with 50 or more employees are required, by law, to provide all of their supervisors working in California with two hours of training every two years. It is a training year for many businesses – so you may only have a few more months to stay compliant.

Any company, regardless of size, that implements a harassment prevention training program for all employees, minimizes their exposure to lawsuits. For example, in one case an employer avoided costly liability in a major lawsuit after proving it promoted a zero-tolerance environment via harassment prevention training courses, materials and postings.

There's a fine line between appropriate and inappropriate. Highlight the differences for your employees so there is no confusion.

With CalBizCentral's California Harassment Prevention Training, employees will learn the nuances between appropriate and inappropriate dialogue and workplace behavior, including: gender issues, sexual favoritism, compliments, personal inquiries, religious diversity and more. Employees will also learn about state and federal laws and legally protected worker categories. All of these topics are useful tools to identify, prevent, and report harassment.
