Question - Required Employee Training

KGIHRDEPT

I am currently working on a training needs assessment (multi-state) for our company. I have been looking for a chart showing the required employee training (sexual harassment, drug free workplace, etc...) for each state. I had a similar chart in an employment law book at a previous employer. I thought I should be able to find this information online, but have had no success so far. Any suggestions?

I don't know if there is a website that would necessarily list all of the different trainings that your company has to offer, since much of it would be state specific. But, in addition to the two areas that you mentioned, I know that alot of companies offer diversity traning, which, by the way, is a great thing to have if you're ever sued for discrimination. I also know that the federal health and safety law (OSHA), and some state health and safety laws, require training in certain areas.

There are some good state resources on the national council of legislatures site at http://www.ncsl.org/programs/employ/topmenu.htm for state laws, but you'll probably have to purchase a resource from a publisher for training info.
