AB 1825 requires California employers to provide two hours of harassment training to supervisors by the end of this year. So, suddenly there's a market that needs training for about 1.7 million supervisors. And, like blowflies to a CSI corpse, a plethora of training vendors have arrived.
As employers shop the commercial offerings, it's important to remember that the mandated training is not a one-time event. After 2005, each supervisor must be retrained every two years. And, any newly hired or promoted supervisor must receive their initial training within six months.
So, companies don't only need training this year — the need is continuous.
At my job, we've gotten a good response by talking to employers about a "subscription model" for the mandatory training. In other words, we offer constant access to compliance training. The company doesn't pay per employee or per course. Instead, it's a monthly or annual fee for as much training as they need.
When you add a supervisor to the system, it assigns courses, track progress, sends email reminders as necessary, reschedules retraining, provides reports, prints certificates, documents completion, establishes a legal record, etc.
Training isn't a one-time event; consider a subscription.
