SEXUAL HARASSMENT PREVENTION TRAINING - UPDATES ARE A MUST!


Check out what the experts have to say in a recent article from TrainingIndustry.com titled Sexual Harassment Prevention Training: States Update Requirements" - the experts include the Authors of Play Nice!


Sexual harassment has become an all too common narrative in today’s work environment, as organizations fail to create respectful workplaces for employees. As a result, more states are doubling down on sexual harassment prevention training requirements for employers. Recently, these states include New York, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois and Maine. Let’s evaluate these new training requirements and determine how learning and development (L&D) can best implement them.


Quote from the article: "Brigitte Gawenda Kimichik, JD, a recently retired commercial real estate finance attorney and author of “Play Nice: Playground Rules for Respect in the Workplace,” says these requirements are “definitely the approach” for combatting harassment in the workplace. If organizations don’t train employees “up and down,” it’s more likely that harassment and/or other uncivil behavior will occur."
