Description
This training is built for California supervisors who need to meet the state's legal requirements for preventing sexual harassment. It focuses on the rules under Government Code section 12950.1 and gives you the tools to spot, stop, and handle harassment, discrimination, and retaliation at work.
Your Role as a Leader
In California, supervisors have a huge responsibility. You aren't just a manager, you are the person responsible for the culture of your team. Under state law, you can even be held personally responsible if you don't take action when problems arise. This course uses real-life examples from office jobs, remote work, and digital communication to show you exactly how to lead fairly.
Understanding Harassment
First, you will learn what harassment actually looks like. It isn't always physical. It can be verbal, something you see, or even something sent in an email. We cover the three main types:
Quid Pro Quo: Trading work favors for sexual acts.
Hostile Work Environment: When behavior makes it impossible for someone to do their job.
Third-Party Harassment: When clients or vendors harass your staff.
California’s laws (FEHA) are stricter than federal laws, and this course explains those differences in plain English.
Who is Protected?
The law doesn't just cover full time employees. You will learn how to protect everyone on your team, including:
