In 1998, the U.S. Supreme Court gave employers a powerful affirmative defense against claims of harassment and discrimination in the workplace. But if your employees and supervisors aren't regularly trained in unlawful harassment prevention, including sexual harassment prevention (California AB 1825), your organization might not be able to use this critically important legal defense. Having an anti-harassment policy or sexual harassment policy is not enough. All employees and supervisors must receive compliance training regularly to establish an organization's affirmative defense.
