TOTALLY MADE-UP EXAMPLE:
1. Employee makes sexual harassment claim.
2. Outside HR consultant brought in.
3. Consultant asks "where is your anti-sexual harassment training course?"
4. CEO says o_o.
5. HR consultant establishes a policy for the company.
6. Board asks CEO to resign for not having the thing asked for in #3.
Not having a training course isn't illegal -- it's not even evidence that anyone was sexually harassed -- but the board can ask the CEO to move on because they feel he was not sufficiently protecting the company.
(PS: Post-college I've never worked at a place large enough to have required a harassment training course. This is just an example of "something the CEO should have done to protect the company but didn't, and we got away with it this time but might not next time.")
- mahyarm 13y agoIn California once your company goes over a certain size (which github has), they must have a sexual harassment course presented to the employees every one or two years. In my company that was a mandatory all company meeting where a lawyer made a powerpoint presentation for a couple of hours. Then there was some sort quiz and us signing something as far as I can remember.
