Description

State Compliance Made Simple.

Illinois employers are required by law to provide annual sexual harassment prevention training to all employees. This mandate—part of the Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA) and Public Act 101-0221—applies to every employer in the state, every calendar year.
To make compliance simple and stress-free, the Chamber is once again offering our Sexual Harassment Prevention Training Webinar—now refreshed for 2025 with updated content and interactive poll questions. Employers can meet state requirements by having their employees attend this training.

What the Webinar Covers:
This training satisfies IHRA requirements and includes:

A clear explanation of what constitutes sexual harassment under Illinois law
An overview of relevant state and federal protections
Remedies available to those who experience harassment
Employer responsibilities for preventing, investigating, and addressing issues

What’s new for 2025:

Refreshed, up-to-date training content
Updated interactive polling to support engagement and attendance verification

The Chamber will mail Certificates of Completion within two weeks of the webinar, pending employer confirmation of attendance.

Note: This course does not meet the separate training requirements for employees of restaurants and bars.

Disclaimer:
This 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.
