Los Angeles, California

  1. All employers that have employees in California must take reasonable steps to prevent discrimination and harassment, such as policy assimilation and training. Employers must provide sexual harassment prevention training in a classroom setting and must also provide instructions on how to contact a trainer who can answer questions within two business days.
  2. SB1343 requires covered employers to provide at least two hours of sexual harassment prevention training and education to all supervisory employees and at least one hour of such training to all non-supervisory employees in California, by January 1, 2020. Training and education must be provided once every two years thereafter, as specified under the new law.
  3. California sexual harassment training should start by reviewing what constitutes sexual harassment under FEHA and Title VII. It should cover statutes and case-law that prohibits and prevents sexual harassment, including an explanation of ‘abusive conduct’ under Government Code section 12950.1, subdivision (g)(2). Training should also cover the consequences of breaking these laws.
  4. In addition to prohibitions against sexual harassment, training should cover gender harassment and harassment based on pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and related medical conditions, as well as harassment based on all other characteristics listed above and under the law including gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. The training should also include prohibitions against abusive behavior and bullying
  5. Furthermore, training should include strategies for preventing sexual harassment and remedies available for victims of harassment. A crucial part of this training includes providing resources for victims of sexual harassment, including a clear understanding of the complaint process and its confidentiality. 

The final crucial component is that any training must include questions that assess learning, skill-building activities to assess understanding and application of content, and hypothetical scenarios about harassment with discussion questions.[5]

All I want to say is WOW, Richard was absolutely amazing and what a great job he did. He trained 759 People Yesterday

The employees have not stopped approaching me to let me know that this was the best training that they have ever had.

They said they were dreading this 1 Hour training, but how the time flew due to the Conversations/Teachings, as well as the interactions he had with the team during this training.

Thank you...  Brenda did a great job of keeping the employees engaged throughout the entire training, and mixing demonstrations and stories to explain all the concepts.  Both the Spanish and English trainings were wonderful.  I thought this was much more effective than the video trainings or in-house trainings we have done in the past.

Richard's training was once again fantastic! He really does an excellent job of keeping the group engaged throughout the training. I'm always amazed at how many compliments I get on the training after. In fact, our CEO joined the first training on Tuesday 9/15 just to compliment Richard on his presentation and how much he got out of it last year. Thank you again!
