Is your company AB 2053 compliant?

LOS ANGELES - Nov. 9, 2014 - PRLog -- As of January 1st 2015, it is no longer sufficient to provide industry standard legal based sexual harassment compliance training for employees based in California. Thanks to the passage of AB 2053, all AB 1825 trainings must now include “specific training and education on how to prevent abusive conduct,” defined as malicious “conduct that a reasonable person would find hostile, offensive, and unrelated to an employer’s legitimate business interests.”

What this means is that harassment training must no longer be limited to the problem of sexual harassment and protected classes, but instead cover all forms of harassment and abusive behavior in the workplace.

According to The Bully Vaccine author and instructor Jennifer Hancock, this is going to be a problem for a lot of companies. “Not all harassment training is alike. While legal trainings are important, they tend to focus on labor law instead of how to actually stop the unwanted behavior.”

Jennifer goes on to say, “Abuse in the workplace is a behavioral problem that requires a behavioral solution. Training supervisors on employment law is no longer enough and the new law reflects that. Employee relations professionals and supervisors must start learning the specific behavioral techniques necessary to stop harassment and abuse in the workplace.”

Jennifer’s new Stop Harassment in our Workplace suite of online courses provides the behavioral training required to help staff and supervisors actually fix the problem of bullying, harassment & retaliation in the workplace. The courses are provided through Jennifer’s company, Humanist Learning Systems, and include HRCI approved e-courses for employee relations professionals as well as a variety staff and supervisor training options.
