Course Description
California State regulations define sexual harassment as unwanted sexual advances, or visual, verbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature. This interactive course is designed to help you understand and identify sexual harassment, your responsibilities, your employer’s responsibilities, and compliance with federal and state laws. You will also learn how to identify sexual harassment, file a complaint, and how to keep yourself and others safe.
Sexual harassment is the most common form of workplace harassment. It wasn’t until the #MeToo movement gained national and international attention, though, that states began enacting laws to add greater protections against sexual harassment in the workplace and greater restrictions on employers in training on, preventing, and handling sexual misconduct in their organizations. Training for all employees is vital. This course will help you understand both new and existing laws meant to protect employees from sexual harassment.
