Why “Sexual Harassment Training for Supervisors and Employees in New York & NYC (Extended) (Spanish)” Matters:

Sexual harassment is a form of unlawful employment discrimination. This training is important because sexual harassment:

• Creates a negative work environment in which people are tense, fearful, uncomfortable, and often humiliated;
• Interferes with effective job performance;
• Undermines trust and respect and makes good working relationships impossible; and
• Exposes your organization to liability.

Key Points:

• Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the NYHRL, and the NYCHRL prohibit sexual harassment in the workplace.
• Employers must take steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace and, should harassment occur, take corrective action to stop the harassment and prevent it from recurring.
• Supervisors should always respond promptly and effectively to any sexual harassment they observe or that is reported to them.
• Anyone at any level in the organization can commit sexual harassment or be harassed.
• Employers can be liable for quid pro quo harassment and hostile work environment harassment.
