Sexual Harassment Prevention Training for Employees and the Sexual Harassment Prevention Training for Supervisors/Managers are available beginning July 1. Check with your Human Resources Director for dates and the availability of training at your agency or entity.

Who is required to take the training?

Employees of Executive Branch agencies, authorities, boards, and commissions are required to complete annual mandatory sexual harassment prevention training, as well as supervisor and manager-specific training before or by July 1, 2024. The requirement follows the state’s implementation of a Statewide Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy and Investigation Procedures that promote a workplace free from sexual harassment and retaliation.

On January 14, 2019, Governor Brian P. Kemp signed an Executive Order for Preventing Sexual Harassment in the workplace, furthering Georgia’s commitment to providing a harassment-free environment for employees and citizens who interact with state government.

The Executive Order, signed on the Governor’s first day in office, required a Statewide Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy and affirmed that the state of Georgia does not tolerate sexual harassment or retaliation in any form.
