We will use the Workplace Training Network again! Our municipality has a very diverse group of 110 full-time and 250+ part-time of employees; some who work on-site, others who work remotely or in the field. It was challenging to find sexual harassment training that was easily accessible, yet meaningful for all our employees – but we found that here! The training material is up-to-date and relevant. It covers a wide variety of topics and the mix and real-life workplace interactions and legal information is perfect. The quizzes are the right length and a good test of the information provided in the training. A few of my employees commented on the training, saying it was the best sexual harassment training theyve been through. My managers felt like this training and the time commitment it requires of the participants put a greater emphasis on the importance of professional workplace behavior. As the administrator of the program, I appreciated the customer service I received from Kit and her team. Any questions we had were answered within the day and the reporting they provided was just what we needed to manage the compliance of our large groups. All around, exactly what we needed!
