Harassment Prevention Policies

As an employer, you should inform employees of the following:

• The posters and notices related to sexual harassment prevention and training
• The pamphlets or handbooks created for employees (which contain anti-harassment policies)
• The training requirements for you and for employers
• The workplace's sexual harassment policies and prevention training
• The process of incident investigations

Keep in mind that there is no one way to create policies and inform employees of them. Each workplace will have a varying number of employees in the workforce and will have different budgets, line(s) of work, and other factors that may contribute to different types of harassment. The policy should reflect the intricacies of the business.

For example, in the state of California, there are additional requirements for farm laborers, janitors, elected officials, and building and construction workers. (As a specific example, local agencies must consult the city attorney or the county counsel while developing their policies and training.) Know the specific requirements for your industry and make sure your policy covers these requirements.
