California law requires companies with five or more employees (which includes seasonal and temporary employees as well as independent contractors) to provide supervisors with a minimum of two hours of interactive sexual harassment, discrimination and abusive conduct (bullying) prevention training every two years. New employees in any position must be trained within six months of hire, and newly promoted supervisors within six months of starting their supervisory position.  We will help your supervisors understand and identify sexual harassment, their responsibilities as representatives of your school as well as for themselves personally, and how to comply with state and federal laws.

Our in-person, interactive two hour course exceeds the training requirements described in Assembly Bill 1825, Senate Bill 1343 and Government Code Section 12950.1.  Schedule your onsite training session for a minimum of 5 or more supervisors for any one class.  Our trainers will make this experience relevant to your staff because they have hands-on experience as former supervisors as well as extensive Human Resources experience in the California charter school environment.

Civil behavior at work goes beyond encouraging “please” and “thank you”.   Civility in the workplace supports an employer’s anti-harassment and anti-bullying policies, as well as supporting the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion.  The National Labor Relations Board endorsed workplace civility as providing “common sense” standards of conduct to promote “harmonious interactions and relationships” among employees.  Supervisors will receive a detailed outline of topics to support civility in the workplace as well as a guide for the foundation for professional working relationship training with their staff.  

This training can be done onsite/in-person or virtually.

Civility in the workplace supports an employer’s anti-harassment and anti-bullying policies, as well as supporting the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion.  We will train your employees on the definition of civil engagement, review a code of civil engagement and provide tools for your employees to use to be proactive in promoting a respectful, responsible, mindful and compassionate behavior in the workplace.  We will do scenario training to review aspects of civil and uncivil behavior.

To help supervisors support the efforts of Human Resources to manage leaves of absence, we provide an overview of federal and California leaves of absences.   There will be a more detailed discussion of the four most common types of leaves – Family Medical Leave Act, California Family Rights Act, California Pregnancy Disability Leave and Workers Compensation Leave.  We will also coach supervisors on how to manage employees’ use of intermittent leaves.

The majority of supervisors in a charter school environment receive no formal training on how to be a supervisor.  To address this, we created an introductory course that starts with the difference between leading versus managing, how to promote civility in the workplace and reviews the top 10 mistakes commonly made by supervisors.  We describe situations when a supervisor should engage Human Resources.  On a day-to-day basis, we coach supervisors how to handle meal and rest break scheduling, how to respond to requests for a leave of absence or intermittent use of a leave of absence, what to do if an employee is injured, how to address inappropriate employee attire and how to handle resignations or terminations. 

This training can be done onsite/in-person or virtually.
