AB 1825 and AB 2053 training key to prevention
California employers now have a new guide and other resources to help them comply with the Fair Employment and Housing Act’s (FEHA) requirement to take “reasonable steps to prevent and correct” workplace harassment, discrimination and retaliation.
The Workplace Harassment Guide for California Employers, developed by the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), and the California Sexual Harassment Task Force, highlights seven elements of an effective anti-harassment program.
They include:
Traliant provides interactive online AB 1825 training and AB 2053 training for California managers that meet all the state requirements.
New Preventing Sexual Harassment Brochure & Poster
There is also an update to the DFEH’s sexual-harassment prevention brochure and poster that employers are required to distribute and display, respectively. The brochure describes the types of sexual harassment California law prohibits, provides examples of behavior that constitutes sexual harassment, and details procedures and policies for employers to develop and implement to prevent and correct sexual harassment.
Either the poster or the brochure fulfills an employer’s responsibility to provide workers with information on sexual harassment, under Section 12950(b) of the California Government Code, the DFEH said.
“Preventing and correcting sexual harassment in the workplace is not only legally required, but it is one of the best ways that an employer can ensure a healthy and productive workplace for all employees,” said DFEH Director Kevin Kish.
Traliant Insight
Along with effective training, the DFEH’s new workplace harassment guide, brochure and poster are important tools to help California employers comply with the law, prevent and address sexual harassment and retaliation, and create a harassment-free workplace.
