Workplace harassment is a pervasive issue across the nation, and businesses of all sizes must take proactive steps to prevent it. In addition to an anti-harassment policy<\/a>, the most meaningful way to protect your business from problematic behavior is to educate employees and managers.\r\n\r\nOur newest Smart App, Harassment Training<\/a>, is a simple and affordable tool for conducting effective, attorney-approved training. Instead of navigating the complexities of a learning management system (LMS) or hiring a professional trainer, employers can provide individual or group training via engaging videos and complementary audio.\r\n\r\nWithout adequate prevention and response, harassment can hurt a company\u2019s morale, lower productivity and increase the risk of costly lawsuits. Results from a March 2018 Trend Survey from ComplyRight<\/a> show that less than 50 percent of small businesses are conducting harassment prevention training. Typically, this is because they are not equipped to create and carry out appropriate training. This efficient, cost-effective app fills that gap, allowing employers to train employees upon hiring, annually or in response to specific situations.\r\n\r\n\r\n

What to Expect with the App<\/h2>\r\nProper prevention training requires current, legally sound information, as well as documentation of your efforts. The Harassment Training app<\/a> offers both, featuring attorney-approved content and automated recordkeeping to verify compliance.\r\n\r\nSince 2014, HRdirect has provided training products to more than 3,000 small business customers. But instead of DVDs, CD-ROMs and printed materials, the Harassment Training app<\/a> is a next-generation electronic solution for assigning, administering and tracking training. Our in-house attorneys, legal researchers and HR experts combined existing resources with the latest, most relevant training content (and delivery) for small businesses.\r\n\r\nThe content is broken into six federally compliant modules, which you can choose to assign as individual or group training. This flexible format allows employees and managers to complete training on their own time through a self-guided experience OR together as a group.\r\n\r\nEach of the fast-moving modules is about 10 – 20 minutes to accommodate busy schedules and boost retention. The training topics include:\r\n
