A Fresh, Practical Approach to Reducing the Risks of Sexual Harassment in Your Workplace- Tackling Policies, Training, and Investigations
Webinar, Hosted By Barnes & Thornburg LLP
Wednesday, August 9, 2017 - 8:30 AM
The headlines surrounding television news, sports networks, and Silicon Valley underscore the message that the standard anti-sex harassment training just doesn’t seem to work any longer. And, it makes us wonder whether our standard “training” was really ever that effective.
In this 90-minute webinar, we will offer a fresh approach to stemming the abuse of power in the workplace. We’ll talk about the changing landscape of the workplace and the law; how to balance healthy relationships with the current zeal for zero-tolerance policies; and recommendations for a broader approach to governing workplace conduct, including bullying.
Educational Objectives:
-
Review of the applicable laws that govern harassment, including federal laws and California state law and federal laws
-
Discussion of the EEOC Select Task Force on Harassment and its findings
-
Recommendations for workplace policies and training about misconduct, including bullying and harassment
-
Practical advice for investigations – from the short-and-sweet to the C-suite – and how to protect confidentiality
