New Jersey does not set a blanket training mandate for private employers, but the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) holds employers responsible for preventing harassment, and New Jersey courts treat effective anti-harassment training as a key part of defending against a claim. Training is the practical way to meet that responsibility, reduce liability, and protect your team. This course gives employees and managers a clear, 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.
