New Training Courses – Online Workplace Harassment Prevention Training Update
Under California law, all employees are required to receive workplace harassment prevention training. Further, the law breaks down the audience for this training into three distinct groups: supervisors, employees who don’t supervise, and local agency officials (compensated elected or appointed officials, which may include board members, council members, or commissioners). This training needs to be completed every two years for all audiences. To assist with meeting this requirement, the Authority has several available options: live classroom training, taking place in person or virtually over Zoom, and online, self-paced training.
Online training is becoming increasingly popular with Authority members. Over the past year, more than 3,300 member employees and local agency officials completed online workplace harassment prevention training with the Authority.
The California JPIA has developed its own online training, found on the training website, myJPIA, which effectively replaces some existing online harassment prevention content. Members should transition to scheduling the new courses as some of the previous courses in the workplace harassment prevention series will be retired and no longer available after December 31, 2022.
The new online workplace harassment trainings are titled:
- Workplace Harassment Prevention for Supervisors,
- Workplace Harassment Prevention for Non-Supervisors,
- and Workplace Harassment Prevention for Local Agency Officials.
Online courses to be retired on 12/31/22 are:
- 8 Keys to a Respectful Workplace
- and Sexual Harassment, California Edition.
For further information about these new online trainings, or how to access them, please contact the Authority’s training team.
