PROGRAM:
California law (AB1825) mandates that all employers with 50 or more employees provide sexual harassment prevention training for their managers and/or supervisors every two years. As AB 1825 became effective in 2005, most California employers designated 2007, and now 2009 as “training years.”
Sexual harassment prevention training is also important and beneficial for all employers because federal and state laws make effective training part of an employer’s defense should a claim be made against the employer. Berliner Cohen’s training is designed to provide attendees with tools and skills to avoid harassment in the workplace and to promote high quality work environments, while complying with the requirements of AB1825.
AB 1825 Compliance Training Series Presented at Berliner Cohen: Berliner Cohen offers a series of comprehensive sexual harassment prevention training sessions presented by experienced employment law attorneys at our offices in San Jose and Merced for managers and/or supervisors who require training.
Private Training: Berliner Cohen’s employment lawyers also offer private training sessions for individual employers at a location of the employer’s choosing. Private trainings sessions are customized for the individual employer’s policies and practices. In addition, private training sessions can be designed for presentation to an employer’s entire workforce so that all employees benefit from the learning experience.
