Human trafficking has been identified in over 25 industries, including retail, restaurants, finance, and recreation. This horrendous crime creates risks for employers, staff, and customers as well as those exploited. Employees in public-facing roles are uniquely positioned to spot and identify potential victims of human trafficking—so equipping staff to respond promptly and effectively is essential for every employer.

Why Choose BEST Basics Training?
Engaging and Efficient: Our 30-minute online training is designed to be engaging and easy to complete on any type of device. In contrast to other trainings that use voiced-over slides or animated graphics, BEST Basics includes firsthand accounts from human trafficking survivors, law enforcement, and business leaders, knowledge checks and concrete action steps to help staff understand, remember, and effectively apply the information provided.
Economical: Our training is cost effective. For example, for 250 staff members, the cost is less than $10 per employee. The pricing model is scalable, so the more staff you train, the lower the cost per employee.
Practical: You will learn to identify the signs of human trafficking, and the appropriate steps to take when you suspect trafficking is occurring. This knowledge is crucial in reducing losses, protecting your business, and ensuring the safety of your customers and employees.
Spanish Option Coming Soon: Starting in June, your employees will have the option of taking BEST Basics in English or Spanish.
Other options for employers include course customization, completion reports, live trainings, Q&A sessions, train-the-trainer services, and more.
After taking BEST Basics, employees will be able to recognize the signs of both sex trafficking and labor trafficking in their workplace and know how to respond safely and effectively. You can view a portion of the training below.
