Elected Officials – Best Practices in Public Service – Comprehensive Two-Part Training
Elected and appointed officials and members of legislative bodies play a critically important role in their service to the public. Because of this, they are held to high standards and expectations under California law. To ensure these standards are met and to promote a culture of professionalism and respect, the Government Code requires at least two hours of harassment prevention training and education within the first six months of taking office or commencing employment, then again, every two years.
The Employment Risk Management Authority (ERMA), in partnership with renowned firms Liebert Cassidy Whitmore and Jackson Lewis, is thrilled to introduce a new initiative focused on training and educating all elected and appointed officials within the ERMA membership. This will be a comprehensive two-part training, totaling three hours. ERMA staff is planning sixteen (16) regional trainings across the state. This initiative is a testament to our commitment to providing valuable loss prevention services to our members.
Part I of this interactive training will satisfy the two hours of sexual harassment prevention training required to be provided to all local agency officials or other designated employees by a local agency; fulfilling the statutory requirements for preventing harassment, discrimination, and retaliation in public agencies.
Part II will build on the legal requirements covered in the first two sessions and provide training on developing and maintaining best practices for acting in the best interest of the public. Using case studies and discussion, the training will enhance critical “soft skills” of leadership, including confidentiality, courtesy, transparency, and fairness. This part of the training will provide best practices for public service so that elected officials and members of legislative bodies can ethically, fairly, and effectively serve the public.
