Course Overview

Federal agencies and Courts regularly emphasize the importance and, in some instances, the requirement that employers provide harassment prevention training to all employees on a routine basis, so they understand their rights and responsibilities in the workplace. Indeed, employers are obliged to exercise reasonable care to promptly prevent and correct any sexually (or other illegal) harassing behavior. Government contractors have additional obligations to ensure their workplace is free of discrimination and harassment and that they are making good faith efforts to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion. Moreover, contractors subject to the affirmative action obligations of Executive Order 11026 are subject to more stringent requirements to address and prevent harassment in the workplace.
