Investing in training is a critical component to manage organizational risk. Training is closely related to meeting mandated compliance requirements as well as a key part of an employee development and retention strategy.
Cultural and workplace trends like gender and pay equality are affecting the training requirements for employers. Changing expectations and new regulations in states such as New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, and California have led to laws requiring training in the areas of unlawful harassment, discrimination and/or retaliation. The trend is expected to continue or even accelerate. Other states including Massachusetts, Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island are considering similar or related legislation.
