Connecticut is one of the states that requires sexual harassment prevention training, not just recommends it. Under state law, employers with three or more employees must provide two hours of training to every employee, and smaller employers must train their supervisors. This course is designed to help you meet that requirement while giving your team a genuinely useful grounding in the topic. It defines sexual harassment, clears up the common myths, and shows how it appears at work, how to recognize a hostile work environment, and the right way to report and respond.
