Thousands of employers choose Clear Law Institute’s sexual harassment training.
On September 1, 2021, Texas significantly expanded employer obligations under state sexual harassment laws. Under the new laws, SB 45 and HB 21, Texas now:
Given these changes, employers should immediately modify their policies and their sexual harassment prevention training. Supervisors and managers, in particular, need to be trained that they can now be held individually liable for sexual harassment claims.
Currently, Texas Workforce Commission’s Civil Rights Division recommends that employers provide discrimination and harassment prevention training to (a) reduce complaints and associated costs, (b) improve the working environment, and (c) improve management decision making.
Additionally, EEOC guidelines and court decisions from around the country have made clear that employers should provide workplace harassment training to all employees periodically.
The training should cover sexual harassment and all other forms of unlawful harassment related to federal and state protected characteristics.
Texas law prohibits workplace harassment and employment discrimination based on protected characteristics such as age (40+), color, disability, genetic information, national origin (including ancestry), race, religion (including all aspects of religious observance, practice, or belief), and sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related conditions). See Texas Labor Code Chapter 21.
Local ordinances may provide broader protections, so you should check the local Civil Rights Commission regulations applicable to your workplace.

Court cases and state laws, such as California AB 1825 and SB 1343, make clear that training providers must have expertise in the prevention of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation to be qualified to provide sexual harassment training.
Unlike most providers, Clear Law has the required legal expertise in-house. With Clear Law’s in-house Compliance Advisory Team of former employment law attorneys, you can be assured that the training is legally accurate and kept up-to-date with any legal changes from around the country.
