NEW TO HARASSMENT LAW
Has everyone at your company who’s required to take a sexual harassment training course had the opportunity to do so? Running a business requires numerous moving parts and people in different places all at once, which means that training shouldn't be anyone's full time job. That’s why online harassment training makes perfect sense for all kinds of organizations. At Impact Compliance, our online sexual harassment training provides a scalable and efficient interactive education that meets all state requirements, including harassment compliance training in Maine.
Federal workplace harassment and discrimination prevention statutes contend that each employer should provide awareness training to employees. However, select states, including Maine, Connecticut, and Delaware, have their own specific mandates to follow. Some regulations require training every two years, while others demand it annually.
Furthermore, the size of the organization affects who must be trained. Before implementing a sexual harassment prevention training in your business, you’ll need to understand your state's requirements. Please contact us today to receive a free course trial.
