This presentation will give you the formula for delivering effective and legally defensible harassment training that's also California AB 1825 compliant. The presenters will discuss: criteria a judge would use to evaluate the quality of harassment training, the legal impact of not providing effective training, how to get employees' 'buy in' and to modify their own behavior to prevent and
resolve harassment situations, and new developments and key concepts in regulations governing harassment training (AB 1825) and how they can impact all employers.
