2026 Buyer's Guide to Harassment Prevention Training

A smarter way to compare providers, ensure compliance, and build a healthier culture.

Organizations everywhere are rethinking harassment prevention training. Not because regulations have changed—although they have, and often—but because expectations for workplace behavior, employee experience, and legal defensibility have dramatically evolved in 2025. HR and Compliance leaders are under pressure to select training in 2026 that is accurate, engaging, modern, and capable of driving real behavioral change rather than simply checking a compliance box.

This guide was designed to make that process easier.

Across industries, buyers repeatedly share the same concerns:

• Does it address state-specific requirements?
• How do we measure success?

Your downloadable guide answers these questions with a clear, structured framework for evaluating any training provider—so you can make an informed, defensible, and future-proof decision for your organization.
