Human trafficking and coercive conduct expose businesses to serious legal, financial, and reputational consequences. Under California law, failure to recognize and respond appropriately can result in civil liability, regulatory scrutiny, and lasting damage to an organization’s credibility. This training equips business owners and organizations with the knowledge necessary to identify risk early, act lawfully, and protect both the individuals involved and the organization itself.

Why This Training Matters

• California law requires certain employers to provide human trafficking awareness training to employees likely to interact with potential victims. These requirements are codified in Government Code §12950.3 and are part of the State’s broader effort to prevent coercive conduct and protect civil rights.

Human trafficking indicators are often subtle — body language, situational context, or inconsistencies in stories that generic online modules can’t convey. In-person trainings allow employees to:

• See real-world scenarios in context through examples and role-playing
• Ask questions and clarify situations that may arise in their workplace
• Engage actively, ensuring information is retained and understood
• Practice lawful responses in a safe, guided environment

This interactive approach ensures your team is prepared to respond effectively — not just complete a checklist.

Participants will gain the knowledge and tools to:

• Identify signs of human trafficking and other coercive or unlawful conduct
• Understand legal obligations under Civil Code §52.6 and Government Code §12950.3
• Develop and implement compliant and practical response protocols
• Recognize key indicators and red flags in workplace and organizational environments
• Document, report, and mitigate risks effectively
