Harassment training webinar meets legal training requirements of CA , CT, ME, NY, NYC and all other state and EEOC training guidelines.

Note: Effective January 1, 2015, California employers are required to include an "abusive conduct" to sexual harassment training for supervisory employees. The new law, AB 2053, makes prevention of "abusive conduct" a required component of the sexual harassment training required under AB 1825.

Sexual Harassment Training Webinar

Our Sexual Harassment Webinar is customized to your policies and the various state and Federal laws covering your employees.

Wherever people work together and share common interests, close personal relationships can develop. These close relationships can lead to workplace romances and breakups that can potentially lead to uncomfortable situations and inappropriate behavior.

Plus, other personal situations, conflicts, biases and perceptions between coworkers can create workplace difficulties and legal issues for many organizations and their HR departments. When sexual harassment takes place — whether it's purposeful or off-the-cuff — it's imperative that your organization is prepared to deal with the consequences.

Recent Supreme Court decisions and new state laws have made employers even more liable for the sexual harassment and other forms of workplace harassment of their employees.

For example, in California, if an employee files a complaint with the DFEH against a supervisor who has not been trained as required under AB 1825 or AB 2053, the employer’s defense will be substantially weakened resulting in much larger settlement costs than would have been necessary.

The court decisions have provided a road map of how employers can adequately protect themselves against harassment claims. That road map includes training managers and employees.

Federal and state court decisions and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Guidelines make it clear that every employer must have policies and procedures in place to prevent workplace harassment. But having a policy does not mean employees understand it or know what to do if they are being harassed or discriminated against in any manor. Again, court decisions and EEOC guidance make it clear employers must provide training to ensure every manager and employee understands the organization's harassment policy. Through employee training, employers show due diligence relative to controlling workplace harassment.

The Alliance Sexual Harassment Prevention Webinar provides all the elements required to enable employers to successfully assert an affirmative defense to Sexual Harassment and other unlawful harassment claims.

Not only does the Alliance Workplace Harassment training meet the legal training requirements of CA, CT and all other state and EEOC’s training guidelines, this training reduces the chances of being hit with sexual harassment complaints in the first place.

With the information provided in this 2-hour webinar, your management and supervisory personnel will learn how to prevent, communicate about, and manage these difficult situations effectively — without disrupting productivity.

Employers beware: All sexual harassment training must meet the strict training requirements contained in the final AB 1825 and AB 2053 training regulations. These training requirements have been issued by the California Fair Employment & Housing Commission.

Alliance workplace harassment facilitators are qualified to conduct sexual harassment training under these regulations. In addition, our online harassment courses meet the online training requirements under the AB 1825 training regulations.
