Stay Compliant and
At Ethos, we make compliance simple. We provide fully compliant, interactive training that meets California’s requirements for Sexual Harassment Prevention and Workplace Violence Prevention (WVPP).
Harassment Prevention Training
Many states require harassment prevention training for supervisors and employees. Requirements vary by jurisdiction. We help employers stay compliant with the specific laws that apply to their workforce.
Each state has different training requirements. We provide required training and compliance with applicable state laws.
California requires all employers with five or more employees to provide sexual harassment prevention training every two years.
- Supervisors and Managers must complete two hours of training within 6 months of hire or promotion and every two years thereafter.
- All other employees (full-time, part-time, temporary, and seasonal) must complete one hour of training within 6 months of hire and every two years thereafter.
- Specialized training for the Janitorial Industry is also available.
Our training helps your team understand what harassment looks like, how to prevent it, and what to do if it occurs, empowering everyone to create a positive and inclusive workplace.
Training: Your First Line of Defense
We believe training is more than just a compliance checkbox — it’s your first line of defense against risk, liability, and workplace conflict.
Our team makes it easy and stress-free for your organization to stay compliant with California’s mandatory training laws.
We offer flexible options — live, virtual, or on-demand — designed to fit your schedule and team size. Whether you have one location or multiple locations, our programs meet state requirements, are available in both English and Spanish, and our experienced HR professionals make even the most complex topics engaging and practical.
Workplace Violence Prevention Training & Plan (WVPP)
As of July 1, 2024, California Senate Bill 553 requires nearly all employers to develop, implement, and maintain a written Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP) and provide training for all employees.
Workplace violence isn’t limited to physical attacks. It includes:
- Threats or verbal abuse
- Intimidation or harassment from coworkers, customers, or clients
- Domestic violence that extends into the workplace
- Aggressive behavior in healthcare, retail, and service environments
