Illinois Sexual Harassment Prevention Training for General Employees and Employers

All employers and employees within the state are required to complete training on sexual harassment prevention strategies and awareness. If you do not work in a restaraunt, bar, hotel, casino, or as a licensed professional in the state of Illinois, this is the class you need. Employers must establish their own company policies on sexual harassment that meet the model standards provided by the state, and offer or pay for training for their employees each year. This course will cover the law that establishes this requirement. 

We'll start by defining sexual harassment and discrimination, then examine the Civil Rights Act and Illinois Human Rights Act. Office policies and posters employers must provide are explained. Types of sexual harassment are exemplified, as well as actions to avoid or watch for. There will be some practical advice for those overwhelmed by the topic, and scenarios to help pinpoint what behavior constitutes sexual harassment.

Next is an in-depth look at how to report or handle incidents of sexual harassment in the workplace. Whistleblower protection and employer liability are discussed. Most importantly, options available to witnesses and victims are outlined, as are internal investigation protocols employers can adopt.

Videos and images are utilized throughout the course to enhance comprehension. After each lesson, students will be asked a single question about the material.
