Harassment in the workplace is a serious problem. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), about 15,000 sexual harassment cases, or almost two cases an hour nationwide, are reported to the EEOC every year. CalChamber is committed to helping your company reduce the risk of becoming a harassment statistic.

Updated course content and features include:

Harassment prevention training for supervisors is mandated for any California company with 50 or more employees. Companies with less than 50 employees should train to reduce the risk of an expensive harassment lawsuit. One large employer recently avoided costly liability in a major lawsuit after proving it promoted a zero-tolerance environment via harassment prevention training courses, materials and postings.
Harassment in the workplace can damage your employee's morale and your company's effectiveness. It is important to purchase training which is current and relevant. We are committed to providing you with effective training that addresses today's issues. For example, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and American Sociological Association, while the majority of sexual harassment complaints are filed by women, the number of complaints filed by men is rapidly increasing. Nationwide, approximately 15 percent of people who file complaints of sexual harassment are men. Another interesting finding is that female supervisors are more susceptible to workplace sexual harassment then female workers who are not supervisors.
Our new course addresses these issues with compelling and memorable content. If you were planning to train employees with the same course that you did two years ago, you may be doing your employees and your company a disservice.
Many of our scenarios are based on real cases that have been addressed in a court of law. Our scenario "Lockup Liaison" is based on the case of Crawford v. Metropolitan Government of Nashville, 129 S. CT 846 (2009). In this case a supervisor is accused of shocking behavior, including the claim by an employee that a supervisor grabbed her and manipulated her body inappropriately. With an appropriate training and a zero-tolerance policy this company may have been able to avoid this unfortunate incident.
If you are currently conducting face-to-face training to educate employees about harassment prevention, you may consider replacing it with online training. A recent study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education indicates that online training is more effective and flexible than face-to-face training. On-demand training allows employees to train on their own PC on their schedule without any support from IT and can be easier on your budget.
