Sexual Harassment Training for Delaware Businesses
empathiHR provides sexual harassment prevention training for Delaware businesses within our annual program. We help employers coordinate employee training, additional supervisor content, and completion tracking while providing ongoing support for management decisions and workplace complaints.
Separate supervisor training from the employee roster
Delaware’s rule applies at 50 employees in the state, with exceptions and additional supervisor training. We discuss headcount, roles, and training dates so the rollout reflects the workforce you actually employ.
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.
Coverage scope
Employees of covered employers, with additional training for supervisors. Applicants, independent contractors, and employees employed for less than six continuous months are excepted. Employment agencies have specific duties for placed workers.

Recordkeeping
Keep dated completion records and training materials as a recommended practice; §711A does not specify a training-record retention period. Separately, employers must give new employees the state information sheet at the start of employment.
Penalties & enforcement
The Delaware Department of Labor can investigate and enforce §711A. Providing training or the information sheet does not insulate an employer from liability for harassment.
