California Sexual Harassment Training Program (eLearning Module)

California Sexual Harassment Training Program (eLearning Module)

State, federal, and local laws prohibit harassment and discrimination of employees, job applicants, and visitors on the basis of sex, gender, age, race, religion, national origin, pregnancy, or disability.  Various court decisions and agency guidance have clarified that employers must take reasonable steps to prevent harassment and discrimination from occurring.   Failure to take reasonable prevention measures can result in a finding of employer liability during a harassment or discrimination lawsuit.
