Webinar: Workplace Anti-Harassment and Discrimination Training – What You and Your Team Need to Know
Harassment and discrimination in the workplace are receiving ever-growing attention in the media and public eye.
It is incumbent on businesses, and the individuals who lead them, to know the laws that govern these kinds of behaviors, to establish policies and procedures to ensure the laws are followed by their workforces, and to create mechanisms for responding in the event of wrongdoing. For better or worse, there are numerous state and federal laws that apply in a variety of often overlapping and contradictory ways, creating a complicated minefield of legal exposure that can only be mitigated with knowledge and expertise.
This webinar is intended to provide an overview of that minefield, so that participants can begin to map out the safest and most compliant path forward for themselves, their workforces, and their companies. It will also identify the key laws in place, define and explain the crucial legal terms and concepts, and provide real-world tools for mitigating legal risk. Finally, it will also help hone best practices for responding to claims of harassment or discrimination, and will include concrete, practical examples highlighting common pitfalls, and ways to avoid them.
