Sexual Harassment Prevention in New York for Managers is a 37-minute online course that fulfills the annual interactive training mandate under NYSHRL Section 201-g for supervisory employees at all New York employers. It covers supervisor-specific responsibilities, complaint handling procedures, bystander intervention, and retaliation consequences under both state and city law, and includes a downloadable certificate of completion.
New York holds supervisors and managers to elevated standards in preventing and responding to workplace harassment. Under the NYSHRL and the NYCHRL, supervisors have a specific duty to recognize, report, and address harassment - and their failure to act can create direct liability for the employer. New York State requires annual interactive training for all employees, including supervisors, and the Department of Labor and Division of Human Rights have issued guidance emphasizing the additional responsibilities supervisors carry. New York City employers with 15 or more employees must also comply with the Stop Sexual Harassment in NYC Act, which requires specific training on the topic of supervisory conduct and obligations.
This course trains your managers and supervisors on their legal responsibilities for preventing, identifying, and responding to sexual harassment under both New York State and New York City law. The curriculum covers the Department of Labor's guidance on supervisor conduct, federal harassment laws, examples of employee conduct that may constitute harassment, complaint adjudication procedures, and the remedies available to victims. Your management team learns the specific steps to take when a complaint is received, the importance of timely investigation and documentation, and the serious consequences of retaliation - including personal liability exposure for supervisors who fail to act.
New York State requires annual interactive sexual harassment prevention training for all employees at every employer, regardless of size. Supervisors are held to a higher standard and face additional training content requirements covering their specific duties in preventing, recognizing, and responding to harassment. The NYSHRL provides broad protections against workplace harassment, and the NYCHRL - considered one of the most protective local anti-discrimination laws in the country - extends these protections further for New York City workplaces. Under the NYCHRL, employers with 15 or more employees must provide training that specifically addresses supervisor and managerial responsibilities. The Stop Sexual Harassment in NYC Act requires employers to maintain training records for at least three years. Courts interpreting New York law have consistently held that supervisor inaction in the face of known harassment creates employer liability, and individual supervisors may face personal liability under the NYCHRL. Documented annual training is essential to an employer's defense position.
