Benefits of IDHR Sexual Harassment Training
Online sexual harassment prevention training (SHPT) from Illinois Required Training Solutions does more than simply meet the legal requirements for annual training under Illinois’ SHPT statutes. Lets look at some of the other benefits our training provides:
IDHR Sexual Harassment Training Increases Worker Awareness
Some number of workplace sexual harassment incidents can be chalked up to workers’ misunderstanding the requirements of the current laws and/or not being aware of how behavior might be perceived in this context. This is low-hanging fruit for the organization and can be quickly addressed. Sexual harassment prevention training developed according to the IDHR guidelines is a quick reminder of behavioral expectations, raising perspective and awareness.
IDHR SHPT Can Result In Better Productivity and Teamwork
Workplaces in which workers treat each other professionally and with respect are welcoming workplaces. Teamwork and productivity are fostered in respectful and professional working environments. IDHR sexual harassment prevention training is just one component in encouraging positive worker interactions and a supportive, rather than hostile, work environment.
IDHR Sexual Harassment Training Has the Potential to Mitigate Legal Liability
When the expectations for respectful behavior have been explicitly set and confirmed, everyone is protected. Allegation of misconduct? Which organizations have provided prevention training? Who is current on their training, versus being overdue for a refresher? The timely provision of IDHR-compliant sexual harassment prevention training is tangible, demonstrable proof that steps were actively taken to prevent unlawful behavior from happening in the workplace.
IDHR SHPT Supports Safer Work Spaces
One of the many challenges in increasing workplace safety is convincing workers that it is truly important. When performance goals are frequently expressed in productivity and customer satisfaction measures, safety can seem like an afterthought. But when workers realize that they are deserving of being treated professionally and with respect, they place more weight on workplace safety, as it is consistent with these values. Thus workers that receive IDHR-compliant harassment training support safer workplaces – not just workplaces with less harassment and other illegal discrimination – because they know they are worth it.

Features of Our Online Courses
You need compliant training that meets the requirements of all the laws. But taking online sexual harassment prevention training from Illinois Required Training Solutions does more than simply meet the statutory legal requirements and the guidelines of the IDHR. Lets look at some of the other features and benefits of our training solutions:
Individualized, self-paced, mobile-friendly training
Trainees take our 100% online courses at the perfect speed: their own pace. As soon as a trainee wants to move on to the next lesson, they can do so. Our courses are available on any device that has access to the web, so trainees can use their own device(s) at a time and in a place that’s convenient.
Most of all, the private, individual experience focuses learning on the elements and dynamics that are most relevant to the trainee themself. No wasted time listening to off-topic questions for others or worse, confirming previously suspected biases of their co-workers. Just straightforward sexual harassment prevention training.
Interactive modules with integrated testing, time-tracked and progress saved
Our text-and-image course content is divided up into small chunks so trainees can feel progress and avoid repetition and backtracking. An interactive design with lots of clicking or tapping saves trainee’s place and progress, meaning students can exit the course and re-enter as many times as necessary without penalty. Because a customer is never an interruption! our training fits into the ‘corners’ of a work shift. Interim quizzes ensure students aren’t skipping over critical points. All course tests and quizzes are retake-until-pass, so success is ensured.
No triggering videos or images
Just as you wouldn’t put on a fireworks display to welcome a shell-shocked war veteran, nobody wants to show triggering images or video of harassment to a victim of rape or sexual assault. But it’s not always easy to identify victims of sexual abuse — some don’t even know themselves that they are victims! So visual images and video depictions of menacing behavior can be highly disturbing for days and weeks afterwards. At Illinois Required Training Solutions, we believe that people know what creepy is when described in straightforward terms. We don’t need to go overboard with the visuals to make our point.
Qualified, expert instructors
The instructors and curriculum developers behind our online educational experience are qualified enterprise leaders, experienced business executives, and organizational management professors. We understand the real world, not just the laws and statutes. So we design content for workers and managers trying to do the right thing in increasingly diverse and nuanced workplaces.
Third party certificate, issued immediately
When trainees finish our courses, they are immediately taken to the Achievements tab on their account’s control panel, where a PDF certificate of completion is available for immediate download. While students can print, email and or save their certificate of completion, purchasers who buy training for others can also see student course progress and download certificate copies from a tab on the purchasing administrator’s control panel, without having to chase down individual trainees. The third party issued certificate is convincing proof of compliance when furnished in response to an audit, complaint or, in a worst case scenario, a lawsuit. Best of all, our certificates are issued with a number that can be validated at any time via our online certificate validator tool. So you’ll always know if one of our certificates is genuine.

Why Choose Us
You have a choice from whom to purchase your IDHR sexual harassment prevention training. We’d like to tell you about a few of the reasons that buying from us is the right choice.
We’re a sexual harassment prevention training specialist
At Illinois Required Training Solutions, we only provide sexual harassment prevention training (SHPT) and closely related course curricula that benefit from being offered at the same time as SHPT, such as bystander intervention training. Our topical expertise shows in the high quality of our training course offerings. We are complete and comprehensive in this space, offering all the different options and combinations that Chicago and Illinois require.
Our offerings are vastly superior To IDHR’s Supplemental Model Resource
Did you know that the model training resources the IDHR produced are not fully compliant with Ordinance 2022-665? Instead these materials are, as they are clearly labelled by the department, “supplemental” resources comprising a model. Illinois Required Training Solutions, by contrast, offers a complete turnkey training solution that is comprehensive, complete and fully administered. No need to hire a trainer to present the PowerPoint, develop additional content to meet time requirements, or develop quizzes and test questions. Plus it’s easy to track workers through the training, validate certificates of completion and retain the records you need. Our solution handles it all for you, so that you can stay focused on your areas of expertise.
We won’t sell you or spam you.
Since IDHR-compliant harassment training is all that we offer, we have no reason to try to sell you other courses you don’t want or need. And like you, we get too many emails, so we won’t spam you. We’ll try our utmost to send you only one reminder when you’re due for retraining – that’s all. And we never share or sell our customer or user lists, because we hate when other people do that to us.
We’re the low-cost leaders
While the quality of our training is very high, we do our utmost to keep the costs low. Because every dollar counts! As designers and providers of sexual harassment prevention training since 2018, we’ve had time to drive the costs out of our operation and deliver a reliable, high-quality course complement at very low prices. You will be hard-pressed to find this level of value elsewhere in the online training marketplace.
Our courses get 4 and 5 star reviews – from students
We didn’t make the laws that require this training and we know how required training time can bring eye-rolls from trainees. In spite of this, the people who take our courses routinely give us 4 and 5 star reviews. It’s not uncommon for a single course to have hundreds of reviews and a 4.8 average score at year-end! We’re proud that we can bring value to a tick-the-box task with such important ramifications for workplace engagement and lifetime happiness.
