Sexual harassment is a serious issue facing employers. This course is designed to educate you about the State of California's and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC) definition of sexual harassment as well as to present information on identifying harassing behavior, avoiding harassment, and what steps to take should harassment issues arise involving the workplace. Topics in this course include: Definition, Guidelines, Confrontation, and Reporting Incidents. After completing this course, learners will be able to recognize that harassment is a personal issue and that your definition of offensive behavior may differ from that of your coworkers. Learners will also be able to identify behaviors that are considered inappropriate and know how to avoid engaging in inappropriate behaviors.

Potential sexual harassment entanglements can appear anywhere in the work environment and in many different forms. As a manager, you need to be on constant alert about what goes on in your workplace and know how to deal with inappropriate and unlawful behaviors. This course provides practical examples designed to raise management awareness of potential employee issues and the legal liabilities associated with sexual harassment. To fulfill the two-hour sexual harassment training requirements of California AB 1825, this course should be taken in conjunction with Sexual Harassment and Abusive Conduct Prevention for Managers (California AB 1825 and 2053).

Victims of harassment have well-established rights under federal law and, in many cases, under state and local law, too. And as a Manager or Supervisor, you have an important responsibility to both prevent harassment from taking place and to address it whenever it occurs in your organization. In order to meet that responsibility, you need to know what harassment and discrimination are, what laws prohibit discrimination and harassment in the workplace, what you must do to prevent and act upon workplace harassment, and how the anti-discrimination policy of your organization helps you do this. That is what you are going to learn in this course.

This program addresses a crucial issue in the workplace, respect. Respect is reflected in a broad range of behavior. The opposite, disrespectful behavior, encompasses behavior that includes racial and sexual harassment, and discrimination. The consequences of disrespectful behavior for employees and the company can be devastating. Everyone deserves a respectful workplace, and this program will help you be able to do your part in creating one.
