Recognize the groups protected under FEHA
Identify behaviors that constitute illegal harassment
Learn the responsibilities of managers and supervisors
Prevent and address workplace discrimination effectively

Course Overview

The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) protects employees from harassment and discrimination in the workplace, covering all federally protected groups and additional ones like race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, disabilities, medical conditions, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender identity and expression, age (40+), sexual orientation, and military status. This course explains FEHA's protections and offers practical examples to help recognize and prevent harassment and discrimination.

Managers and supervisors must avoid discriminatory actions in employment decisions such as hiring, firing, promotions, or demotions. Examples of illegal behaviors include not promoting an employee due to pregnancy, requiring employees to tolerate harassment, or refusing to hire someone because of religious practices. Retaliating against employees for filing harassment claims or making decisions based on stereotypes is forbidden.

This course provides scenarios to help identify illegal behaviors, understand the repercussions of discriminatory actions, and implement best practices to maintain compliance with FEHA. By understanding and adhering to FEHA, you can help create a safer, more inclusive work environment for all employees.
