Mandated Sexual Harassment Training

We train your team about the legal requirements for harassment training, including the definition of harassment, various forms, bullying, and other prohibited behaviors, and the steps employees can take to report incidents as required in the law known as Title VII.

​REQUIREMENTS BY STATE:

In California, employers with five or more employees must provide sexual harassment and abusive conduct prevention training every two years. The requirements are:

  1. Nonsupervisory employees: 1 hour of training

  2. Supervisory employees: 2 hours of training
     

​In Washington, D.C., all employers who have tipped workers must provide sexual harassment training for their employees.
 

Employers in New York must provide sexual harassment training to employees who:

  1. Will work more than 80 hours in a calendar year, AND

  2. Will work for at least 90 days
    Employers are liable for sexual harassment by new employees from the time of hire.

Establishing Professional Boundaries

We teach your employees professional boundaries and why they are needed in the workplace. They learn about the various behaviors that can undermine these boundaries, including overstepping authority, oversharing personal information, and engaging in unprofessional conduct.  The training includes incorporating an anti-discrimination policy and disseminating it to all employees to ensure compliance.

​

We can also create a culture book that lays out the workplace expectations of every employee: Sample Culture Book
