Sexual harassment should never be taken lightly. Without the right information and training, even the most minor incidents can erupt into big problems—complete with costly litigation fees and a possible PR nightmare. In 2005, California bill AB 1825 mandated that: All California employers with 50 or more employees must provide two hours of sexual harassment prevention training to their supervisors and managers every two years, starting in 2005.
The California Fair Employment and Housing Commission (FEHC) recently established new regulations interpreting AB 1825. These new regulations specify the requirements of the sexual harassment prevention training which employers with 50 or more employees must provide to their supervisors and managers [FEHC Regulations (CA Code of Regulations, Section 7288.0).
This course provides two hours of sexual harassment prevention training to office supervisors and managers working for employers in California with 50 or more employees.
