by Mike McCluskey, Senior Technical Editor, CalChamber

Training employees is an ongoing effort that covers the entire employment lifecycle. A well-designed training program can benefit both your business and employees in many ways — ranging from improved job performance and satisfaction to improved workplace safety and potentially reduced exposure to litigation, to name a few. And of course, California law requires that you train employees in some specific areas. 

In this article, we’ll explore required trainings — such as harassment prevention and workplace violence prevention training — as well as types of training that, while not required by law, can help you avoid compliance issues and promote a more productive workplace.
