WHAT EMPLOYERS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE WORKPLACE TRANSPARENCY ACT (WTA)

The most significant detail you need to know is that the WTA amends the Illinois Human Rights Act and requires ALL Illinois employers to provide annual sexual harassment prevention training to their employees. The training required must meet several content requirements, including:

• Be interactive;
• Explain sexual harassment and provide examples;
• Provide a summary of relevant federal and state provisions regarding sexual harassment, including remedies available to victims of sexual harassment;
• Describe the employer's responsibilities in the prevention, investigation, and corrective measures of sexual harassment.

​R&R Human Resources Solutions has provided anti-harassment training for many years. New in 2020, we are teaming up with Dr. Lisa Kaplin, Psychologist/Coach to offer a state compliant program that combines what is required under the law along with understanding unconscious bias and providing tools to build and sustain a culturally sensitive work environment. Our program is entitled, "“Building a Sensitive Workplace, Promoting a Culture of Respect”.

Please contact me for further details on providing this program to your organization.
