Why Not Show a Video for CA Sexual Harassment Training: Why not just play a video for sexual harassment training? Playing a DVD or PowerPoint is not CA SB 1343 compliant sexual harassment prevention training.
Simply playing a DVD or showing a PowerPoint does not meet the definition of California SB1343-compliant sexual harassment prevention training.
Looking for a DVD, video or PowerPoint for sexual harassment prevention training to meet the requirements of California’s SB-1343? This may not be the smartest way to go, and could even hurt you and your company. Let the buyer beware: here are a few reasons why these offerings won’t offer solution value.
1. All SB1343-compliant sexual harassment prevention training must be delivered by a Qualified Trainer as per the statute.
This is not one of those trainings your HR Generalist can stand up in the front of the break room and deliver. Only certain attorneys (but not all lawyers), certain types of HR Specialists (but not all), and certain university professors (you guessed it) qualify to deliver this training under the statute.
What’s more, this training requirement comes on the heels of the #metoo movement and overlapping a national pandemic, meaning that the individuals that meet the requirements to be a qualified trainer may find themselves unavailable or unwilling to serve in these roles due to competing (and more lucrative) opportunities for use of their time. So qualified trainers are in a bit of a shortage, and not all are willing to make a break room appearance.
2. SB1343 sexual harassment prevention training must be interactive and individualized, not passive viewing, and this dynamic must be thoroughly documented.
The legislators clearly wished to avoid the kind of training that misses the target when they wrote the statute.
SB1343 mandates extra documentation proving that required interactive elements occurred when training was delivered. Online sexual harassment prevention training courses handle this requirement programatically using quizzes and test bank questions drawn uniquely for each participant, but a DVD video or PowerPoint requires supplemental documentation including question and answer logs, proving that employees had the chance to ask questions of a qualified trainer (and did so).
Skip this crucial documentation step and you might as well not have shown the video or PowerPoint at all.
3. That Video or DVD can’t help you with a sexual harassment prevention compliance audit, a sexual harassment complaint, or should it ever go to court.
At California Required Training Solutions, our training courses produce certificates that can be validated via our web validator tool, and every click produces a date-and-time stamp behind the scenes affirming that each employee acknowledged the subject matter at the topic/lesson/question level. So you can be sure your training comes with backup on the unhappy day you might need it.
We also stand by you with customer service and technical support seven days a week. For many small companies, this sexual harassment prevention training is the first formal interactive online training that they have ever provided for their employees. If you have a question, you want someone you can reach out to for answers. At California Required Training Solutions, we want to help you get this right and get your people trained and back to work quickly. We’re available on (800) 806-4133 and by email, Contact Us form and the training platform’s private messaging capability, seven days a week, should you need to reach out.
4. Your workforce is constantly changing. Your sexual harassment prevention training needs to keep up.
Set up an in-person DVD, PowerPoint or webinar training, and the very next day you can find yourself faced with turnover or a new hire. In this way, training can quickly become very expensive. But at California Required Training Solutions, we’re aggressive about being the low-cost provider in the online sexual harassment prevention training business.
