Supervisors must complete mandated harassment training
On April 9, the Sexual Harassment Policy Office will launch the 2009 state-mandated harassment prevention training program for faculty and staff supervisors. State law (AB 1825) requires that all California employers with 50 or more workers have their supervisors complete at least two hours of harassment prevention training every two years.
As in 2007, supervisors may choose to complete their training online or sign up to attend a live, interactive session featuring audience participation and dramatizations. An e-mail announcing the launch will be sent to all those who must undergo training. It will contain instructions on how to register.
Both the online and live training programs have been customized and updated for 2009. Life Theatre Services will present new scenes in the live version, while the online program will include recent, actual case studies. A total of 10 live sessions will be offered this year, four in the spring and six in the fall.
The online program, also designed to be interactive, will be available from May until Dec. 1, 2009.
Those who wish to attend a live training session should sign up as soon as they receive instructions, as space will be limited. Questions may be directed to Virginia Pollard or Robbie Fanning, at shpo-training@stanford.edu or 725-0646.
