FAQ
Common questions
Can I run discrimination & equal employment opportunity training online?
The course itself is self-paced and online, and the live deck lets you add a live session. Whether online delivery meets your local rules depends on the law that applies to you, so check Title VII (42 U.S.C. 2000e) or ask your own counsel.
How often is this training needed?
At hire + every 2 years (best practice).
Who needs this training?
All employees (supervisor tips included as callouts).
What records should I keep?
Record completion in your own LMS or record system, so you can show who finished the course and when. Check the retention period that applies to you in Title VII (42 U.S.C. 2000e).
Can I edit the content?
Yes, everything. Change the wording, swap scenarios for ones from your workplace, add your logo, or remove parts that don't apply. Keep anything your own law requires you to cover.
