California Sexual Harassment Training That Complies With
AB 1825 Training Regulations
Provide the supervisors in your organization with sexual harassment training you can trust, from the Alexander Hamilton Institute, highly-respected employment law experts since 1984.
AB 1825 requires that sexual harassment training for all supervisors must be repeated every 2 years. In addition, newly promoted and newly hired supervisors must be trained within 6 months of their promotion and/or hire date.
If an employee files a complaint with the DFEH against a supervisor who hasn't been trained as required under AB 1825, your defense will be substantially weakened resulting in much larger settlement costs than would have been necessary.
Employers beware: All sexual harassment training must meet the strict training requirements contained in the final AB 1825 training regulations that were issued by the California Fair Employment & Housing Commission. All AHI trainers are qualified to conduct training classes under the regulations and are located in California. In addition, our online self-study course meets the online training requirements under the AB 1825 training regulations.
AHI's effective sexual harassment training course for supervisors not only helps you comply with AB 1825, but also reduces the chances of being hit with sexual harassment complaints in the first place.

2. Our training course was developed by the sexual harassment knowledge experts at AHI.

4. AHI offers two different versions of the course – one for supervisors and one for employees.
In addition to training your supervisors, it is recommended that the rest of your workforce receive sexual harassment training. To make the training more effective, the course has been edited to make it more relevant to situations that non-supervisory employees face as well as emphasizing their role in preventing sexual harassment from occurring in your workplace.
5. Our training course has been approved to be in compliance with AB 1825 regulations by the California-based law firm, Dowling, Aaron & Keeler.
The firm is comprised of top lawyers in various disciplines, including real estate law, litigation, estate planning, healthcare law, general business law, employment law, intellectual property and public agency law.
Why Should I Train? What Is The Penalty For Noncompliance?
If one of your employees files a claim of sexual harassment, you can expect a letter from the Department of Fair Employment & Housing (DFEH) requesting proof that you are in full compliance with the requirements of AB 1825. The letter will ask that you provide the number of supervisors you employ, the dates training was provided, the name and qualifications of the trainer, and copies of the training material provided. If found to be non-compliant, you can be ordered to train all of your supervisors within 60 days.
Worse yet, your employee's lawyer will argue that failure to train in accordance with the law demonstrates the organization's "reckless disregard" for the law, and thereby establishes a potential basis for punitive damages liability.
Don't waste your training dollars on programs that don't comply!
The DFEH will demand that you retrain all of your supervisors if they find your previous training does not comply. We've made it cost-efficient and convenient for you to train everyone in your organization by offering the course in three convenient delivery methods...so you can pick what works best for you now and avoid costly lawsuits later.
Spanish version of the course is also available.
AHI can conduct live webinar or in-house training in Spanish to train all of your Hispanic supervisors and employees. In a recent case involving a $710,000 settlement, some employees who were being sexually harassed failed to use the company's complaint process because they did not understand the training that had been given to them in English.
