Workplace Harassment

In 2009 alone, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ordered that $294,200,000 (that’s 294.2 million dollars!) be paid out for discrimination and harassment charges. No wonder companies are working to be more proactive in preventing harassment.

But how do you prevent harassment from occurring? What sorts of policies should be in place? What should managers do to protect their employees? And if a complaint is filed, what will we do? All of these questions (and more!) will be answered in this workshop.

At the conclusion of this workshop, you should be able to:
  • Understand what behavior is and is not appropriate in the workplace, and why
  • Help your company create and implement a harassment policy
  • Protect yourself and your staff against harassment incidents and complaints
  • Understand when mediation is and is not appropriate

  • Help identify solutions to a harassment complaint
