Every employer with employees working in the State of Illinois is required to provide employees with sexual harassment prevention training that complies with Section 2-109 of the Illinois Human Rights Act. As of Jan. 1, 2020, employers are required to train every employee each calendar year. All employees, regardless of their status (i.e. short-term, part-time, or intern), must participate in such training. Library trustees are also required to participate in annual training.
We're here to help! Illinois Heartland Library System is providing a free training module through the use of the Gallaher Step Program. This is a self-paced module in which you must view the training and complete a quiz with a passing grade of 70% or above.
Within one week of signing up in L2, you will receive an e-mail directly from Gallagher Risk Control (system@gbriskcontrol.com) through the Gallagher STEP training module stating that you have been assigned training, you will then create a login to access the system and begin your training. Please note that users with Hotmail accounts may experience issues receiving the training links. We encourage those with Hotmail accounts to use an alternate email address for the training.
At the end of the course session, if you have received a passing grade of 70% or above you will be able to print out a certificate of completion for your records. Please give this certificate to your Library Director for proof that you have met the training requirement for Sexual Harassment Prevention.
