Sexual Harassment Prevention in Delaware for Supervisors is a 26-minute interactive online course that meets the supervisor-specific training requirements of Delaware House Bill 360, which amended the Delaware Discrimination in Employment Act (DDEA). It is designed for supervisory employees at organizations with 50 or more employees in Delaware and includes a downloadable certificate of completion.
Delaware House Bill 360, effective January 1, 2019, requires all employers with 50 or more employees in the state to provide interactive sexual harassment training to all employees, with additional content specifically for supervisors. Supervisors must complete training within one year of assuming a supervisory role and every two years thereafter. Under the DDEA, employers are strictly liable for harassment by supervisors that results in a negative employment action, even if the employer was unaware of the conduct. This strict liability framework makes supervisor-specific training a critical component of an organization's legal defense strategy.
This course trains your supervisors on the Delaware-specific legal requirements for preventing and addressing sexual harassment. The training covers the Delaware Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the distinction between quid pro quo and hostile environment harassment, supervisor responsibilities for preventing and correcting harassment, complaint investigation procedures, employer liability standards, and the legal prohibition against retaliation. The interactive format satisfies Delaware's requirement that training be participatory rather than passive.
Delaware House Bill 360, signed into law on August 29, 2018, and effective January 1, 2019, amended the Delaware Discrimination in Employment Act to explicitly designate sexual harassment as an unlawful employment practice. The law requires employers with 50 or more employees in Delaware to provide interactive sexual harassment training to all employees within one year of hire and every two years thereafter. Supervisors must receive additional training on their specific responsibilities for preventing and correcting harassment. The law broadly defines 'supervisor' as anyone empowered to change another employee's employment status or who directs daily work activities. Under the DDEA, employers are strictly liable for harassment by supervisors that results in a negative employment action, and employers may be held liable for harassment by non-supervisors if they knew or should have known about the conduct and failed to take corrective measures. Employers must also distribute a sexual harassment notice provided by the Delaware Department of Labor to all employees.
