A Partnership That's Redefining Workplace Training for California Employers

If you’ve ever tried to keep up with California employment laws and requirements, you know it’s not just complicated. It’s constantly evolving.

That’s no surprise given how quickly workplace dynamics change driven by technology, culture, and shifting societal expectations. As a result, staying ahead in California can’t just be about keeping up with employment laws. It requires building a workforce that is adaptable and equipped to thrive in one of the most dynamic and highly regulated environments in the country.

That’s why we’re excited to announce a new partnership between EasyLlama and the California Chamber of Commerce (CalChamber). Together, we’re focused on a shared goal:

Help California employers go beyond baseline compliance requirements and invest in meaningful workforce development through modern, high-impact training.

"We’re proud to partner with EasyLlama to broaden the training resources accessible to employers across California. Through this partnership, we’re able to offer practical professional skills training that complements our compliance solutions while supporting employers in strengthening communication, leadership, and overall workplace effectiveness."

-Karen Mendoza, EVP, Business Services

Why This Partnership Matters for California Employers

The California Chamber of Commerce (CalChamber) has long been a trusted leader in helping businesses navigate the complexities of operating in California. Through expert guidance, advocacy, and resources available via HRCalifornia.com and the CalChamber store, they’ve supported thousands of employers in building strong, resilient organizations.

Their mission is to help employers navigate California’s evolving landscape with practical, actionable guidance. At EasyLlama, we share that mission.

In a state like California, compliance training is often associated with a narrow set of requirements, like harassment prevention. But the reality is much broader. Employers today face increasing expectations across areas like AI governance, data privacy, workplace safety, and ethical business practices, all while needing to continuously upskill their teams.

To stay up-to-date and succeed as a business, training needs to cover more than “just harassment prevention” and do more than “check a box”. This partnership brings together CalChamber’s trusted expertise with EasyLlama’s modern training platform to deliver a more holistic approach, one that supports both compliance and workforce growth.

Training That Goes Beyond the Basics

Compliance is critical. But it’s only one piece of the puzzle.

Through this partnership, California employers gain access to a highly curated library of training that spans both compliance-focused topics and practical upskilling content designed to support everyday performance and long-term growth.

On the compliance side, EasyLlama courses include topics such as:

• AI Governance
• Anti-Bribery
• Anti-Money Laundering
• Insider Trading
• HIPAA
• Threat Detection and Handling
• Corporate Governance
• Conflicts of Interest
• Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
• Cybersecurity

On the upskilling side, employers can empower their teams with wide variety of EasyLlama courses in areas like:

• Office Ergonomics
• Social Responsibility
• Boosting Productivity with AI in the Workplace
• Interviewing Skills
• Mental Health Awareness
• Strategies for Preventing Employee Burnout
• Workplace Psychology
• Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving
• Building Remove Work Culture
• Handling Difficult Customers

This partnership reflects a key belief between both EasyLlama and CalChamber that effective training programs don’t just reduce risk, they unlock employee potential and upskill.

Rather than overwhelming employers with endless content, every course in this partnership has been carefully selected to ensure relevance, quality, and real-world impact.

A Smarter Approach to Workforce Development in California

California employers face a number of unique challenges like constantly evolving regulations, expanding training expectations, increasing operational complexity, and limited time or internal resources.

By combining CalChamber’s thoughtful curation with EasyLlama’s modern, easy-to-use training platform, employers can simplify how they deliver training, while creating a better experience for their teams.

"We are delighted to work with the California Chamber of Commerce team to bring our training content to the members of the CalChamber community. We look forward to working together to bring engaging training to help so many continue to grow in their career journeys."

-Elizabeth Bailey, Director of Partnerships, EasyLlama

Together, EasyLlama and CalChamber are helping employers rethink training in California, not just as a requirement, but as an opportunity.

Through this collaboration, organizations can:

• Move beyond checkbox compliance toward meaningful workforce development
• Access expertly curated training tailored to California’s unique landscape
• Equip employees with both regulatory knowledge and practical skills
• Build stronger, more productive, and more resilient teams

Training expectations in California are evolving and this partnership reflects a more modern approach, where compliance and upskilling go hand-in-hand. If you’re based in California or have employees in the state, explore the new courses now available on CalChamber’s storefront.
