Workshop: California AB 1825 Harassment and Discrimination Prevention September 30, 2009

2 CPE/MCLE Credits

2010 is a retrain year! California AB 1825, passed in January, 2006, states employers with 50 or more employees must provide two hours of sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation prevention training to all supervisors every two years, including newly hired or promoted supervisors within six months. Stay compliant, establish powerful affirmative defenses to lawsuits and create a healthy, positive workplace for all by addressing sensitive cultural differences.

Statistics from the EEOC show alarming increases in discrimination claims across the board, including race, age, disability and national origin. With retaliation claims at a record high and major EEO developments in the past few months, including the ADAAA, GINA and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, organizations face an increasingly complex web of compliance challenges. You'll learn to:

-Define sexual harassment and provide specific examples
-Conduct workplace investigations
-Involve HR and upper management at the appropriate time
