The EEOC says harassment remains a major workplace problem, and it issued guidance to clarify when employers are liable. This 90-minute webinar on EEOC harassment guidance explains what that means for how you handle claims.
The guidance goes well beyond typical sexual harassment claims to cover racial harassment, sexual orientation harassment and more. It also sets out in detail what the EEOC wants to see in your harassment policies and training programs.
You'll learn the EEOC's approach to liability for quid pro quo harassment and hostile work environments, who counts as a supervisor, obligations when the harasser is a customer, protected activity and retaliation, and how to investigate and document claims properly.
How you handle a harassment claim can decide whether you face a lawsuit and whether your company is held liable. Employees know their rights, and the EEOC will review your investigation to see whether you took the claim seriously and how you responded.
The session suits HR professionals and generalists and risk managers.
