Littler Mendelson PC recently issued the following announcement.
Date: September 15, 2021
California's training law requires that covered employers train employees, including supervisory employees, on sexual harassment issues every two years. Federal law provides employers with a defense to liability if they take proactive steps to prevent and correct sexual harassment and other forms of unlawful workplace harassment. A major element of this defense can be enhanced by training managers on how to prevent and correct workplace harassment.
Along with the prevention of sexual harassment and other forms of unlawful workplace harassment, California law requires that supervisory employees receive training on the prevention of abusive conduct as well as training addressing harassment based on gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. In addition to complying with California requirements, Littler's program includes tools and strategies raised in the 2016 Task Force Report prepared by the EEOC.
Please note this program has been developed for California supervisory level employees only. Please reach out to Nicole Magallan for training options for nonsupervisors, seasonal, or temporary employees.
