California Supervisor Sexual Harassment Prevention Training
Supervisors carry a unique legal weight in the workplace: the law holds employers strictly liable for a supervisor’s harassing conduct, and supervisors have a mandatory duty to report what they see or are told. This course explains the legal framework behind FEHA, walks through how harassment and bias show up in real workplaces, clarifies exactly what the law requires of a supervisor, and builds practical skill in preventing retaliation, addressing abusive conduct, and handling complaints with fairness and confidence. Learners will work through realistic scenarios drawn from everyday supervisory situations, including messaging-platform interactions, post-complaint team dynamics, and bystander intervention moments.
