Frequently Asked Questions
What to consider when choosing the right
Harassment & Discrimination Training for Connecticut
Connecticut “Time’s Up Act” (Public Act No. 19-16)
The Time’s Up Act strengthens workplace protections against sexual harassment. Employers with three or more employees must provide interactive sexual harassment prevention training to all employees within six months of hire and then every ten years thereafter. Employers must also provide written or emailed notice of their sexual harassment policies, post a rights poster, and ensure employees understand reporting procedures. The law extends the statute of limitations for claims and increases potential damages, aiming to create safer, more accountable workplaces.
Training duration: At least 2 hours per session for employees; supervisors require 2 hours of training covering prevention, investigation, and reporting.
Connecticut Workplace Psychological Safety Act (WPSA, Public Act No. 19-17)
The Workplace Psychological Safety Act protects law enforcement officers seeking mental health support. It prohibits discharge, discipline, discrimination, or retaliation against officers who seek or receive mental health services or surrender firearms while receiving care. The goal is to encourage officers to access support and maintain psychological well-being without fear of workplace consequences.
Training duration: While there is no mandated training for the WPSA itself, organizations often integrate mental health awareness and psychological safety training for relevant personnel.
Training in this area is most impactful when it focuses on real behaviors and everyday workplace situations rather than dense legal explanations. Effective programs give employees clear, practical examples and show what appropriate responses look like in different roles. Interactive elements, modern scenarios, and straightforward guidance help learners understand how to prevent issues and support colleagues. When the content is updated regularly and built with diverse perspectives in mind, it stays meaningful and relevant for today’s teams.
