ST. GEORGE, UT - June 1, 2005 - LearnKey, a leader in self-paced online
learning courseware, announced today the release of a two-part sexual
harassment prevention training series to help businesses keep up with
compliance initiatives and improve workplace environments. "Recent
increases in employee harassment lawsuits and changes in employment
law require a more consistent approach to prevention training for
employees and supervisors," said LearnKey Marketing Vice President,
Kevin Lewis. "Our online approach provides effective, trackable
training across all levels."
The series consists of two online courses: "Preventing Sexual
Harassment for Employees" (regularly priced at 5) and "Preventing
Sexual Harassment for Employers/Supervisors" (regularly priced at
5). The series is now available for a combined, limited-time
introductory offer of just .95 per employee. Each course is led by
an expert attorney from Lane Powell Spears & Lubersky, and educates
the learners on employment law, the different types of sexual
harassment, and the proper procedures for dealing with each one.
Because the course is completed online, supervisors and employees can
access the training at their own convenience from any computer with
Internet access.
The demand for this training stems from the cost involved in sexual
harassment lawsuits and complaints filed with the EEOC, which rose
from 5,000 in the year 1990 to over 15,000 in 2000 (EEOC figures).
According to the Wall Street Journal, about 1,700 people mostly
women won million from employers in EEOC cases last year
involving sexual harassment. That's nearly double the amount paid out
a decade earlier.
Both California and Connecticut have passed laws requiring supervisory
employees to be trained in sexual harassment prevention. However,
corporate leaders are realizing how critical it is to ensure that all
employees, not just supervisors, have a clear understanding of current
employment laws and regulations. In addition, the Supreme Court
(Kolstad v. American Dental Association, 527 U.S. 526 (1999)) has
ruled that harassment prevention training can reduce employer
liability in the face of litigation, and that if an employer has
failed to provide employee training, they may lose their ability to
establish an affirmative defense to harassment and discrimination
claims.
In response to this growing need to provide protection against
harassment litigation, the Preventing Sexual Harassment Series from
LearnKey is an extremely affordable way to deliver the highest quality
training, whenever and wherever businesses choose.
