\nDisclaimer:
\nThis training is intended to fulfill the training needs for Sexual Harassment Prevention Training pursuant to the Illinois Human Rights Act\, 775 ILCS 5/2-109. \;While presenters and the Chamber staff have done our best to thoroughly address all topics\, it is not possible to include discussion of every possible instance needed to keep your work environment free of any and all sexual harassment in a presentation of this nature. It is understood this information is a tool to help workplace standards\, rather than an exhaustive list of rules\, statutes\, regulations\, and standards. As such the Presenters\, the Chamber and other affiliated parties are not liable for any action of a company'\;s employees\, customers\, management\, or other affiliated parties. The Chamber of Commerce will take good faith virtual attendance\, but it is each employer'\;s responsibility to ensure and verify their registered participant attends the entire training. \; \;
