According to the Department of Labor "All employers must adopt and provide a sexual harassment prevention policy to all employees by October 9, 2018."
These policies must be distributed in writing or electronically. Employers are also encouraged to have employees acknowledge receipt of the policy and to post a copy of the policy where employees can easily access it.
If your company already has a sexual harassment policy, make sure that it meets or exceeds the newly required minimum standards.
