Reminder: Sexual Harassment Prevention Training is required every two years – California

California law requires all employers of 5 or more employees to provide training to its supervisory and nonsupervisory employees on sexual harassment and abusive conduct prevention. The training must include practical examples of harassment based on gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation.

Every two years, nonsupervisory employees must receive at least one hour of training and supervisory employees must receive at least two hours of training. Employees must be retrained either two years from the date of completion of their last training or by the end of the next training year deadline.

The California Civil Rights Department (CRD), formerly the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), provides free online training courses on preventing sexual harassment and abusive conduct in the workplace that satisfy California’s training requirements. The CRD’s free training is available to all employers and employees in California.
