Sexual Harassment Training for Connecticut Employers
empathiHR provides sexual harassment prevention training for Connecticut employers through our annual program. We help identify who needs training, organize employee and supervisor participation, and maintain individual completion records alongside ongoing management support.
Start with headcount and supervisor responsibilities
Connecticut’s three-employee threshold changes who must be trained. Even smaller employers must train supervisors. We review those roles with your roster and help connect training to the questions managers handle after completion.
Hosted training for your team
Training is delivered through our hosted platform. Employee and manager content addresses their different responsibilities, with assignments informed by workforce locations and roles.
Completion records and follow-through
We coordinate rollout and completion tracking against your roster. Individual completion records help HR see participation and keep evidence of the training delivered. That gives your team a coordinated process instead of another training project to manage on its own.
An annual program, with support beyond training
Training is included only in the annual empathiHR program. The relationship also brings management guidance, phone/email and in-app reporting, thorough investigations, and proactive quarterly engagement. Owners, managers, and HR have an experienced resource for employee concerns, with more capacity to focus on running the business.
Start with your workforce and current training
Tell us your locations, employee and manager counts, and recent training dates. We review applicable requirements and explain the annual program, delivery, records, and pricing before you decide. Once you join, onboarding establishes the relationship and we coordinate rollout and ongoing support.

Penalties & enforcement
Failure to provide required training can result in a fine of up to $750 under CGS §46a-97(c) and can constitute a discriminatory practice. CHRO has statutory inspection powers subject to the conditions in §46a-97(d).
