This online training course for supervisors presents an overview of sexual harassment in the workplace-what it looks like, which laws govern the protection of workers against sexual harassment, and how to deal with it should it occur.
The California Fair Employment and Housing Act of 1959 (FEHA) is a California law regarding sexual harassment and other forms of unlawful discrimination in employment and housing. The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) is the state agency that enforces California's civil rights laws and protects citizens from discrimination related to areas such as housing and employment. This agency also enforces California Senate Bill 1343, which requires sexual harassment prevention training for businesses with five or more employees and extends to all employees, not just supervisors.

This course is for:
State laws require most supervisors to undergo anti-sexual harassment training. The goal of this mandatory sexual harassment prevention training is to improve awareness and prevent sexual harassment incidents in the workplace. This online sexual harassment training meets this requirement.
Case Study: Medina Rene worked as a butler for the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was one of many employees on the all-male staff. An openly gay man, Rene was subjected to verbal and physical harassment from his supervisor and co-workers. His co-workers routinely referred to Rene as "she" and "her" and subjected him to physical conduct of a sexual nature. Rene sued, but the trial court and a panel of the federal appeals court initially ruled that his claims of discrimination were not valid under Title VII's prohibition of sex discrimination. Upon appeal, a federal appeals court declared that Title VII protects people from sexual harassment regardless of sexual orientation
Key Takeaway: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' 2002 ruling changed how U.S. courts viewed sexual harassment. Sexual harassment need not occur between a man and a woman, and it need not occur because the harasser has sexual desire for the victim. Rene's case illustrates how the courts viewed sexual harassment in the past, and how courts now view harassment cases, thanks to the diligence and appeals of victims like Rene.
