Overview

This comprehensive course is designed to provide all employees (including part-time, contractors and others) how to understand and prevent inappropriate behaviors, The laws have recently changed, requiring much more responsibility of people in positions of power. We discuss the most recent federal government regulations, as well as providing a brief history of the development of these workplace protections. We also discuss in detail California's requirements in preventing harassment, abusive behavior, bullying and discrimination.

California is usually among the states providing the most stringent protections - and other states usually follow these examples. Although we cannot cover the requirements in each and every state in a few hours course, we believe that by following the combination of federal and California State Law, plus our recommendations to be even more prudent, you will be in compliance.  
Many examples of behaviors that could be construed as either appropriate or inappropriate - depending on the point of view of those involved will be offered as well as examples of clear inappropriate behaviors.

Laws against Abusive behavior -bullying - are new. We discuss these in detail.

In addition, there is a section on general prevention training - how to conduct it.

We cover the laws and examples of discrimination, harassment (sexual and otherwise) and the rights of the victim. Finally, we offer information about handling complaints and refer those we are instructing to other courses about investigating and dealing with conflict provided by Dr. Diamond

This author strongly suggests that this training be given to employees at least annually no matter how large or small the head count. It only takes two people to have a behavior reported as either harassment, bullying, or discrimination.
This is a valuable course that will help everyone in the workplace learn to be more understanding and courteous to others.
