On April 28, 2020, the Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR) released its model Sexual Harassment Prevention Training (download here), providing guidance for employers with employees operating in Illinois.
Under the Workplace Transparency Act (WTA), effective January 1,
2020, employees must receive training on sexual harassment
prevention by December 31, 2020, and on an annual basis thereafter.
At minimum, the training must:
Explain what sexual harassment is (consistent with the Illinois
Human Rights Act definition).
Provide examples of prohibited conduct.
Summarize federal and state sexual harassment laws, including
remedies available to victims.
Set out the employer's responsibility to prevent,
investigate, and correct sexual harassment.
