Sexual Harassment Prevention in Delaware for Supervisors

Delaware law requires many employers to provide sexual harassment prevention training, with added content for supervisors, and to repeat it every two years. Supervisors carry particular weight because their actions, or inaction, can make the employer liable. This course is for Delaware managers and supervisors who need to understand that responsibility. The training reviews Delaware's Discrimination in Employment Act alongside Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act. It explains the difference between quid pro quo and hostile environment harassment and lists prohibited behavior, such as unwelcome advances, offensive remarks and sex-based discrimination. Supervisors learn why they should model appropriate conduct, report incidents promptly and handle complaints confidentially. The course also stresses thorough investigations, swift corrective action and the consequences of failing to comply. The course supports the training required by 19 Del. C. §711A, which applies to employers with 50 or more employees in Delaware. The video runs about 16 minutes in English.
