At Wagner Legal, we don’t just train, we spark change. Our dynamic, customized programs engage employees and empower leaders, all while aligning with your unique workplace culture and meeting legal requirements in California, Florida, New York, and Ohio.

We go beyond the basics, delivering training that helps your team truly understand how to prevent discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and other workplace risks. Our approach makes policies meaningful—not just memorized—so your workplace is safer, more respectful, and fully compliant.

Investing in training isn’t just smart, it’s essential. In many cases, it’s a legal requirement. But more than that, it shows your commitment to a workplace where people feel protected, valued, and ready to thrive.

Training Services to Strengthen Conduct, Communication, and Compliance

Workplace training isn’t optional, it’s essential. With more states requiring it, failure to comply can mean serious legal and financial risk. But great training does more than check a box.

Why Workplace Training Matters:

  • Lower Legal Risk. Employees and managers understand their obligations, reducing costly violations.

  • Clearer Policies. Teams know how to report and respond to workplace concerns.

  • Smarter Issue Management. Staff are equipped to handle challenges confidently and correctly.

  • Stronger Culture. Practical tools for better communication and mutual respect.

At Wagner Legal, we offer training that’s legally compliant, culturally aware, and built to empower. Because protecting your workplace starts with preparing your people.

  • Our workplace anti-harassment and respect training seeks to empower employees by educating your workforce on how they can be instrumental in creating a culture of anti-harassment and equality, including through bystander intervention training. We teach employees about the different types of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation as well as workplace bullying. We provide employees with the keys to learning how to report such instances - all of which can help to protect the company from liability for claims of discrimination and harassment

  • We offer flexible training options, whether in person through on-site sessions or remotely via video conferencing, ensuring accessibility and convenience for all individuals regardless of their physical location or scheduling constraints. Through these training initiatives, we strive to safeguard our company from liability and promote a harmonious, inclusive, and respectful work environment for every member of our organization.

  • As of Spring 2022, at least six (6) states require some sort of workplace harassment training. Those include:

    California | Connecticut | Delaware | Illinois | Maine | New York

    Employers operating in these states (or even just doing business in these states) should ensure that they comply with each state's individual training requirements.

    While not all states in the United States require workplace harassment training, most recommend it. Further, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has issued guidelines, which apply to employers in all states, stating that employers periodically should provide [harassment prevention] training to all employees to ensure they understand their rights and responsibilities. The EEOC cautions against employers using "canned, one-size-fits-all" training, and instead concluded that "effective compliance trainings are those that are tailored to the specific realities of different workplaces."

    When in doubt, it is best to consider whether to provide workplace training by considering what sort of education the company could provide to employees to support a safe, fair, and respectful environment for employees.
