CPEhr Helps Employers Reduce Sexual Harassment Risks HR Firm Offers...

Despite great strides against sexual harassment during the past 20 years, recent events prove that the problem continues to rear its ugly head. A federal jury recently found Madison Square Garden and Isiah Thomas liable to pay $11.6 million in damages for sexually harassing a former employee. The public case has once again drawn attention to this complex legal issue.

CPEhr, a leading California-based HR consulting firm (http://www.cpehr.com/sexual-harassment.html) to help small employers avoid costly harassment lawsuits and penalties.

Assembly Bill 1825 (AB 1825), requiring all California employers with 50 or more employees to provide two hours of sexual harassment training every 24 months, went into effect on January 1, 2005. However, that same year, the EEOC received close to 13,000 charges of sexual harassment, with the average costs recovered in monetary benefits increasing dramatically.

According to a recent study by TrainRight Solutions, 41 percent of U.S. employers still don't provide preventive training for sexual harassment, with cost the leading factor for ignoring education in this area.

"I believe that figure is probably close, but still a little low," says Linda Robinson, Training Manager for CPEhr. "In the past, I have run across many excuses for an employer to hesitate or turn down an opportunity to provide training. Some include lack of budget; a belief that this will not or does not occur in their work environment; and the fear that a new awareness among employees will encourage rather than prevent lawsuits."

Robinson's company CPEhr is a leader in management training (http://www.cpehr.com) is one of the largest, privately owned human resources and professional employer outsourcing (PEO) firms in California. With 25 years experience in the California market, CPEhr has an advantage in its knowledge of statewide employment challenges. CPEhr provides a personalized service that extends to 35 states. CPEhr offers an array of integrated human resources services that includes: Employee administration, human resources and labor law compliance, payroll and tax administration, benefits administration and compliance, workers' compensation administration, risk management, training and development and recruitment.
