First and foremost, a lack of sensitivity and sexual harassment training will have a big impact on the employer. Many states now require employers to provide sexual harassment training by law. If you are based in Illinois, Connecticut, New York, California, Delaware, or Maine, then these employment law changes will apply to you. Failing to provide regular compliance training around sensitivity and harassment may result in legal action and fines.
It’s also worth remembering that these training courses are designed to protect every member of your business and it should be the concern of all business owners to ensure the safety of their employees at all times.
