Course Overview| The Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014 (AB 1522) establishes mandatory minimum paid time off benefits for California employees and new compliance obligations for their employers. Although organizations with paid time off policies many not need to offer additional leave, they must ensure that statutory minimums are met and comply with other paperwork requirements. |  |
Approach
AB1825 places certain requirements on web-based training, including instructional design, interactivity, content, anti-harassment policy, tracking, and record-keeping. Our training solution exceeds every requirement. We provide broader protection for your company because the course also covers other forms of discrimination besides sexual harassment and because we strive beyond simply informing employees. We aim to influence behavior and improve performance.
We believe in the power of story-telling as an instructional technique. We research hundreds of harassment cases and use them as the basis for scenarios that are rich in detail and true to life.

- Reporting complaints
- Remedies for for victims

Why LawRoom – advantages over live training
Online training offers many advantages over live training. For one, attendees in live training can listen passively. So, there is no way to be sure they’re engaged and comprehend the training. Online training is individualized and challenges attendees’ comprehension with interactive exercises and real world role-playing activities. Plus, online training is available 24/7 from any computer connected to the Internet. This allows employees to train at their own pace and convenience and be more productive. But best of all, you don’t have to bring back a trainer for the employees who missed the live training.
Other advantages over live training:
- Consistent quality, message, and training
- Quickly deploy and train entire workforce
- Less disruption of work-time – more cost-effective
- Track progress and generate reports
- Electronic evidence of training
Don’t take our word for the advantage of online over live training. According to the U.S. Department of Education, "a systematic search of the research literature from 1996 through July 2008 identified more than a thousand empirical studies of online learning. Analysts screened these studies . . . and found that, on average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction."
