What Is Sexual Harassment Training?

Sexual harassment training is a form of compliance training common in organizations of all shapes and sizes. Mandated by Federal and state laws, this training is aimed at preventing workplace sexual harassment in any form, including inappropriate remarks, unwanted physical contact, showing pornographic material, and demands for sexual favors.

Based on the rules and regulations set by the State of California, California employers must require a 2-hour sexual harassment training course for supervisors to be repeated every two years. Sexual harassment training for supervisors is required, and online training courses make it easy to stay in compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is California sexual harassment training for supervisors?

California supervisor sexual harassment training is a compliance training designed for supervisors. It is based on the sexual harassment training requirements in the state of California, particularly the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and California Assembly Bill 1825 (AB 1825). This training is aimed at preventing discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation in the workplace and on the part of supervisors.

How to administer sexual harassment training to my employees?

Administering sexual harassment training is easy with a ready-to-use course and a learning management system to deliver it. All you need to do is pick the sexual harassment training course for your state from ProProfs library. Alternatively, if you like, you can customize a course with your branding, company harassment policy, and make any changes you wish to. Next, you can simply upload a spreadsheet containing a list of learners or add them one by one. At ProProfs, you can do an automated sync with your HRIS. Take a look at this easy guide to learn How to Conduct Sexual Harassment Training.

What are the current requirements for California sexual harassment training (supervisors)?

Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 make sexual harassment illegal in the workplace. Also, AB 1825 makes certain employer action items and training mandatory. Effective January 1, 2018, SB 396 expanded the requirements for supervisor sexual harassment training to include gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. The new law also requires that employers display in their office premises a poster of the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) regarding transgender rights.

Who needs to take supervisor sexual harassment training in California?

Every employee in a supervisory role is required to undergo at least two hours of sexual harassment training and retraining every two years. Newly recruited supervisors are supposed to take the training within six months of their assuming position. Supervisors may be part-time, full-time, temporary, or contractors. Acceptable modes of training include classroom training, eLearning, webinars, and any other interactive and effective training method.

How many courses can a user take?

As many as they want. Your account comes with 100+ ready-to-use courses including DEI, sexual harassment, OSHA, HIPAA & many more. There is no charge per course.

How do I assign courses to my employees?

There are many options. You can bulk-upload contacts from spreadsheets, send email links to learners for self-enrollment, or connect ProProfs with your HRIS, which auto-syncs your contact database. Here’s a quick guide to learn How to Bulk-Import Contacts in ProProfs LMS.

Are LGBTQIA+ employees protected from workplace sexual harassment?

Yes, LGBTQIA+ employees are protected from workplace sexual harassment, just like all other employees. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, EEOC, has said that workplace harassment because of an employee's gender identity or expression is sexual harassment. Harassment that happens because someone doesn’t fit traditional gender stereotypes of masculinity or femininity is a type of sexual harassment. Workplace harassment against LGBT people is always rooted in other people's belief that they are not acting how a woman or man "should" act, therefore making it sexual harassment.

It is unlawful to harass a person because of that person's sex, including the person's sexual orientation, gender identity, or pregnancy. Learn More
