New Anti-Harassment Legislation Hits Today, Be Ready with Compli's Quick Start Program
Today New York's sweeping new legislation requiring every employer in the state to develop a sexual harassment prevention program, regardless of business size, is now enacted.
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Compli, a provider of automated HR and compliance solutions, aims to help New York businesses comply with legislation that goes into effect today, through their Sexual Harassment Prevention Quick Start Program. This out-of-the-box program enables companies to quickly implement a comprehensive and compliant sexual harassment prevention program.
In 2017 the #MeToo movement cast a spotlight on sexual harassment in the workplace. To address the scourge of workplace harassment, New York State enacted laws requiring employers to have a comprehensive sexual harassment prevention program which includes training components, updated policies, formal complaint processes, and more.
"New employees hired from this point forward are expected to be trained under the guidelines of the new legislation ASAP. Employers should have a plan in place for everything from distributing updated policies, to how to train employees on anti-harassment, to how to submit and respond to complaints." said Rob Warmack, CEO of Compli. "While the date for training existing employees has been extended one year, it is a mistake to assume you have until the new deadline to put your program in place."
Compli's Sexual Harassment Prevention Quick Start Program provides compliant policies, interactive training, complaint response procedures, live guidance from Compli's team of HR professionals, and a technology platform that assigns, tracks, and reports on required activities in an auditable way. The program can be quickly rolled out to new hires during onboarding and current employees on a compliant schedule. Employees receive automated reminders when it's time to retake the annual training and have 24/7 access to your program's resources, including the policy and complaint procedures, all online.
"We want to help New York businesses quickly comply with the newly-passed legislation to maintain a safe and productive workplace for all employees," said Warmack. "Compli can spin up a comprehensive and compliant program for companies in New York State in as little as two to three days to quickly reduce a company's risk profile."
