Harassment Prevention Options

Feb 11, 2019 | HR NEWS

Effective January 2019, Senate Bill 1343 requires California businesses with 5 or more employees to provide sexual harassment training to both supervisors and non-supervisory staff by January 1, 2020. In addition, newly hired employees or newly promoted supervisors must be trained within six months.

Sierra HR Partners is here to help with a variety of training options!

Program Options

Training for Staff / Non-Supervisors

This one-hour interactive program is designed to satisfy all components of SB 1343, AB 2053 (abusive conduct), and SB 396 (gender identity and gender expression.)
Key topics include:

  • Resolving workplace conflicts and minimizing gossip and inappropriate jokes
  • Definitions and examples of two types of harassment and protected classes
  • Abusive conduct and bullying
  • Company policy and complaint process

Training for Supervisors

Our two-hour interactive program satisfies legal requirements by including the key staff topics, and adding the following:

  • A supervisor’s role as an agent of the company
  • Understanding potential liability for the company and the individual supervisor
  • How to lead by example and set the tone for positive workplace behavior
  • Protections against retaliation
  • How to properly respond to a complaint of harassment

For your convenience and to foster a shared understanding between employees and management, these two workshops may overlap or be offered back to back.
