In this month’s installment of California Coffee Talk, the speakers will address the expanding landscape of sexual harassment claims in California, focusing on proactive steps that employers can take to create a harassment-free workplace. The speakers will review best practices for addressing harassment claims and for training supervisory and nonsupervisory employees, including topics that must be covered and the interactivity requirement. They will also discuss a new state law that extends privilege to defendants who are sued for making defamatory statements based on their own experiences as victims of sexual assault, sexual harassment, workplace harassment or discrimination, and cyber sexual bullying. Â
