Workplace Harassment II
(Average 60 - 90 mins. for employees; 120 - 160 mins. for managers/supervisors): This second installment of ELT's sexual harassment training solution covers the same critical learning points as Workplace Harassment I, but presents learners with a brand new story featuring ELT's award-winning Working People™ story-based training template and cast of characters. This new, full-length ELT "episode" covers sexual harassment and other forms of prohibited harassment, allowing employers to meet their ongoing, periodic training requirements (particularly those state laws requiring at least 2 hours of training), while providing employees and managers with fresh and entertaining content.
Workplace Harassment Refresher
(20 - 30 mins. for employees; 30 - 45 mins. for managers/supervisors): The Workplace Harassment Refresher recaps the key learning points of ELT's full-length sexual harassment training courses in a condensed set of modules. It also acts as a policy re-distribution tool, tracking each individual learner's review and acknowledgement of the organization's sexual harassment-prevention policy. While shorter in length and more focused on basic content, the Workplace Harassment Refresher maintains ELT's high production value and commitment to engaging, story-based learning. This course can "stand alone" and does not require employees to have taken a full-length ELT Workplace Harassment course. For employers committed to the "periodic" training requirements defined by the US Supreme Court and the EEOC, the Workplace Harassment Refresher empowers the organization to provide an ongoing solution.
Ethics & Code of Conduct
(30 mins. to 2 hours based on client preference and extent of customization): This course educates employees about the fundamentals of ethical behavior and legal compliance in the workplace. It also provides dynamic customization capabilities to communicate your organization's Code of Conduct. The course ensures a permanent, auditable record of individual Code review and acknowledgement. Combining the unparalleled expertise of the global law firms Shearman & Sterling and Littler Mendelson, this course provides the most effective solution to the training requirements currently mandated by Sarbanes-Oxley and the recent amendments to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. In addition to addressing critical topics such as antitrust, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, discrimination, insider trading and record keeping, Ethics & Code of Conduct educates employees on the specifics of your reporting procedures and compliance resources. Leveraging the award-winning Working People™ story-based training template, these key topics, and many more, are addressed through compelling vignettes, interactive exercises and an extensive Q&A tool. With ELT's flexible customization capabilities, the Ethics & Code of Conduct course can also include content specific to your organization and/or industry. Various configurations of the course can be tailored to specific populations within your workforce to meet a range of education and compliance needs. Your organization benefits from a custom, high-quality program without the time and expense of "from scratch" development. ELT's Ethics & Code of Conduct course is a true "next generation" solution.
Wage & Hour
(20 mins. for employees; 45 mins. for managers/supervisors.) This first-in-industry course educates your workforce about the basics of wage and hour law, as well as your organization's policies. 80%+ of employers are estimated to be out of compliance with federal and state wage and hour laws, and wage and hour class action lawsuits are exploding. Why? Most of your employees and managers don't know the basics about proper time recording and reporting. Whether you are under current scrutiny (DOL audit or other litigation), or whether you are proactively addressing wage and hour concerns, this course is designed to help you better manage risk and create a culture of compliance. Wage & Hour continues ELT's long tradition of affordable and easy customization options that put you in the driver's seat.
