Creating Great Workplace Environments Description
After more than two decades of providing innovative risk management solutions for its clients, Bickmore developed the Maxim Risk Management™ Program – a principle-centered and problem-solving approach to training and educating employees, managers, and supervisors on developing professional workplace environments. Our workshop is AB 1825-compliant, and includes the relevant law of sexual harassment and discrimination. But we also focus on the underlying principles for why we should adhere to the law, why we should care about creating a positive workplace environment, and how to make anti-discrimination law and policies meaningful and purposeful to all employees. We look forward to a practical, interactive, and lively workshop.

Important reminder regarding ERMA trainings
It is our members’ responsibility to keep track of the employees who have attended ERMA trainings for AB 1825 compliance purposes. ERMA does not generate a sign-in sheet or keep a record of attendees. At the end of the training, all attendees will be given a certificate of completion indicating the date and title of the training and name of the trainer. For your own compliance purposes, we strongly recommend that you keep copies of the certificates for each employee who attended the training, along with a copy of the training materials. These are sometimes requested as part of discovery in employment lawsuits, or by various administrative agencies.
If you have questions regarding training document retention, or scheduling, please contact Taylor Doris at
