Summary
In the workplace, when we hear the word “harassment” many of us think only of sexual harassment. However, illegal harassment also occurs based on an employee’s race or color, religion, national origin or disability. Harassment training is not required under federal law. While many states have enacted legislation specifically requiring sexual harassment training, none have mandatory training for other types of illegal harassment. Even if not required by law, court decisions and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Guidelines make clear that training for all types of harassment may be critical in raising a defense and avoiding punitive damages in harassment lawsuits.
