Compliance training that does more than comply

Employers with 5 or more employees must provide harassment prevention training every two years: one hour for nonsupervisory employees, two hours for supervisors, under Government Code 12950.1. New hires within six months.

The statute requires effective interactive training. It does not require that anybody remember it, which is the gap most vendors sell into.

Because completion is not comprehension. Recorded training finishes at 10% to 20% generally (Ruzuku, State of Online Courses 2026), and even a completed click-through teaches nobody what to do when a person tells them something at 4:45 on a Friday.

Per-seat online courses run $5 to $20 per employee in 2026 (Coggno, 2026). You are buying a record, not a behavior.

What to do in the first five minutes after a disclosure. Once a supervisor knows, the employer knows, and the obligation to respond has started whether or not the word complaint was used.

Most organizational exposure I have seen starts with a manager who heard something, meant well, and did nothing formal with it.

Here, $1,800 for up to 50 employees in a one hour session, and $2,400 for a two hour supervisor session up to 35. That is about $36 a head at capacity.

Nonprofits, schools and public agencies take 15% off private sessions.

Want this applied to your own session?

Book twenty minutes and bring the agenda you are stuck on.
