Sexual Harassment Training That Complies With California AB 1825 Regulations
Provide your organization with sexual harassment training you can trust, from Alexander Hamilton Institute, highly-respected employment law experts since 1984.


     The Fair Employment & Housing Commission (FEHC) has adopted final regulations on AB 1825, the California law that requires employers with more than 50 employees or contractors to provide sexual harassment training to all supervisors. The regulations became effective on August 17, 2007.

     Under AB 1825, training for all supervisors must be repeated every 2 years. In addition, newly-promoted supervisors and new hires must be trained within 6 months of their promotion and/or hire date.

     Employers beware: all training must meet the strict training requirement contained in the final regulations.

Why Choose AHI?

1. Our training course was developed by the sexual harassment knowledge experts at AHI.

AHI has been recognized nationwide as a leading publisher on sexual harassment and employment law for over 23 years. Our flagship newsletter, Manager's Legal Bulletin, has been training supervisors how to avoid discrimination lawsuits since 1986.

Since 2004, AHI has been hired by over 100 organizations to conduct sexual harassment training for over 4,000 supervisors and employees. Click here for a brief listing of some of our clients. References are available upon request.

AHI has a dedicated team to provide customer service meeting the specific needs of every organization with whom we partner. These customer service professionals provide seamless scheduling and understand the necessity of making changes and scheduling classes with short notice due to business requirements.

AHI understands that it is essential for training to speak the language of an organization and use relevant examples targeted to the audience. Within the same organization there can be variations based upon the skill and authority level of participants. In addition, each level of management has different legal responsibilities when it comes to the prevention of sexual harassment. That is why AHI developed two versions of its program — one for supervisors and one for employees.

2. Our training course has been approved to be in compliance with AB 1825 regulations by the California-based law firm, Dowling, Aaron & Keeler.

The firm is comprised of top lawyers in various disciplines, including real estate law, litigation, estate planning, healthcare law, general business law, employment law, intellectual property and public agency law.  One of the firm's attorneys, Mike Hogan, was recently selected by the Labor Relations Institute as one of the Top 100 Labor Attorneys in the United States, and another, David Dixon, was recently selected by Cal-SHRM to serve as the Legal Expert regarding Employee and Labor Relations matters in the SHRM California Learning System for the California HR Certification Exam.

3. All of AHI's trainers are qualified "trainers" as defined by the law.

Our lead instructor, Elle Peji, is a Senior Trainer and Human Resource Consultant. Since 2000, she has designed, developed, and delivered training courses on topics including appropriate workplace behavior, diversity, sexual harassment prevention, discrimination in employment, workplace violence, liability prevention and management, conducting internal investigations, performance management, conflict management, and policy writing.

She has conducted training courses on discrimination and harassment, both in person and live via the Internet, for over 1,000 supervisors and HR personnel from a wide variety of organizations

Why should I train? What is the penalty for noncompliance?

     If one of your employees files a claim of sexual harassment, you can expect a letter from the Department of Fair Employment & Housing (DFEH) requesting proof that you are in full compliance with the requirements of AB 1825. The letter will ask that you provide the number of supervisors you employ, the dates training was provided, the name and qualifications of the trainer, and copies of the training material provided. If found to be non-compliant, you can be ordered to train all of your supervisors within 60 days.

     Worse yet, your employee's lawyer will argue that failure to train in accordance with the law demonstrates an organization's "reckless disregard" for the law, and thereby establishes a potential basis for punitive damages liability.

Don't waste your training dollars on programs that don't comply!

     The DEFH will demand that you retrain all of your supervisors if they find your previous training does not comply.  
We've made it cost-efficient and convenient for you to train everyone in your organization by offering the course in three convenient delivery methods.....so you can pick what works best for you now and avoid costly lawsuits later.

Choose The Training Method That Best Suits Your Needs

"The training was excellent. We liked Elle very much and she made the course very interactive and interesting. Again thank you so much for helping me coordinate this training course."

"It was actually very good, and the trainer who led the session did a great job. As far as the scheduling of it, yes it worked out fine.  It's nice that they offer the session more than one time, so we can rotate all of us taking the course, without having to leave the production floor unsupervised."

"Elle Peji did a fantastic job during the two days she was here presenting the Harassment Prevention training. She is extremely knowledgeable of the subject and how to judge the type of group she is dealing with. I sat through four sessions with her and each one was different and perfect for the audience. I would highly recommend her and Alexander Hamilton to my colleagues if asked for Harassment Training Experts."
