Learning Champion DES MOINES, IOWA (PRWEB) JUNE 29, 2016

The Founder and CEO of Prositions Frank Russell has been awarded the Learning Champion Award for his exceptional contributions to the learning industry. The award takes into account over 30 years of Frank’s innovation and entrepreneurism in the learning and development industry. His most notable accomplishments include:

Leading the modern trend for virtual mentoring with a full-featured software application
Creating one of the first SaaS/Cloud-based learning management systems
Guiding the video training content industry from an analog to a digital model
Shifting the way training content is aggregated, distributed, and consumed

“I have known Frank for a long time,” reflects Lloyd Singer, serial entrepreneur in the learning industry. “He is an incredible leader and entrepreneur who has always had a keen intuition about where the learning industry is headed. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him, and even competing at times, on some of these major industry transformations. His ability to help shape the future of the industry has been remarkable.”

Frank is an influential business and technology leader, visionary advisor, and true innovator of the learning industry. Since 1985 he has founded three companies in the learning industry. Since the inception of his first company, his goal has been to create and provide transformational learning technology and services to organizations. Frank has also served as the president and board member of several training media associations. Currently as the CEO of Prositions, Frank is impacting the mentoring industry and revolutionizing the way organizations develop and engage their talent.

“Research shows that formal training alone is not delivering the results human resource development professionals demand today,” explained Robin Salsberry, President of Prositions. “The key is to reinforce training with effective mentoring via technology. I’ve enjoyed working with Frank in two of his companies and can honestly say his drive to create disruptive change in the market has been an inspiration to us all.”

The annual Learning Champion Award recognizes individuals for exceptional contributions to the industry. Nominees can be innovators, thought-leaders, trailblazers, mentors, cutting-edge technologists, rookies, creative consultants, or high performing professionals that positively impact the learning industry.

Prositions and MYCA:Learning Release Updated Harassment Training Courses in Compliance with the California FEHA Regulation Changes

DES MOINES, IOWA (PRWEB) APRIL 14, 2016

The California Office of Administrative Law recently approved regulations drafted by the California Fair Employment and Housing Council (FEHC) that went into effect on April 1, 2016. These new anti-discrimination and anti-harassment regulations require compliance by most employers in the state of California. The new regulation has expanded the number of employees covered by protected characteristics, required employers to rewrite and disseminate anti-discrimination and harassment policies, imposed new requirements for harassment and discrimination training, and redefined “transgender”, “gender expression”, and “gender identity.” In response, Prositions and MYCA Learning have incorporated these changes into their new harassment prevention training courses, HERO and WHPL, to ensure full compliance with the new regulations by the FEHC.

Stephen Anderson, President & CEO of Anderson-davis, Inc. is a subject matter expert on the topic of training materials and consulting services in the fields of preventing sexual harassment, building respectful workplaces, conducting investigations, and facilitating the healing process. He has worked alongside Prositions and MYCA:Learning to ensure compliance with the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) regulation change. “Bottom line,” he stated, “the modules in the HERO course reasonably meet and exceed the requirements to provide training in a ‘meaningful manner’ on these topics.”

The Harassment Education and Retaliation Overview (HERO) course is an entertaining mystery-based harassment and retaliation prevention course that invites participants to interact in a 3D virtual environment to figure out who was suspended and why. HERO consists of 9 modules and includes over 40 video scenarios that challenge participants’ understanding of their employer’s anti-harassment and retaliation policies while also teaching them when and where they apply.

Workplace Harassment: Prevention and the Law (WHPL) is designed specifically for office employees and includes 15 interactive scenario dramatizations. The training program features episodes that engage learning through realistic character development that clarify the types of behavior prohibited by your sexual/non-harassment policy and shows the impact of harassment. In addition, these scenarios demonstrate different ways of stopping unwelcome behavior.

“Training content that deals with harassment prevention can often be dry and boring,” said Dennis Barr, Senior Account Executive at Prositions. “Organizations that use HERO or WHPL in their training programs have had success in creating lasting understanding of the topics covered, due to the engaging nature of each course. These courses don’t simply convey the compliance requirements, they help employees and supervisors understand and remember them.”

California employers looking to ensure compliance with the new FEHA regulation should take the following steps immediately, as the changes were effective April 1, 2016:

Ensure they have written policies that comply with the new regulations and that such policies are disseminated in one or more of the approved methods
Ensure that proper compliance and investigation procedures are in place
Ensure supervisors and human resources personnel receive proper training on the new regulations so that all inquiries and potential complaints can be addressed in a compliant manner
