Sexual Harassment and Abusive Conduct Prevention for Managers (California AB 1825 and 2053)

Course Description 

When taken with Sexual Harassment Prevention for Managers, this course fulfills the California AB 1825 and AB 2053 requirements that employers of five or more employees educate supervisors about sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and abusive conduct every two years.
