Preventing Sexual Harassment on Farms - Tools for Employers

July 29, 2019

Preventing Sexual Harassment on Farms - Tools for Employers

Do you have an agricultural business with employees in New York state? If so, this training is for you!

This workshop will bring together agriculture labor experts and farm management specialists from around the state to discuss New York's new sexual harassment prevention laws. The training will help you understand what the new requirements are and how your business can meet them.

Speakers located across the state will connect via Zoom. Each location will project the Zoom meeting and provide a light lunch. Farmers will be able to ask real time questions and engage with other farmers.

Cost is $10 per person, and will be collected at the door.

This training is for employers and human resource managers, not employees.

PLEASE REGISTER BY JULY 26.
