Overview

Although harassment in the workplace is not a new issue, its heightened visibility reinforces the singularly important role of company leaders in identifying and resolving problems effectively. This requires more than following a nuts-and-bolts sequence of actions. It is vitally important for leadership to understand the definition of harassment, the significant costs and risks, legal and regulatory definitions and parameters, and most importantly, their role in prevention.

Why you should Attend

While harassment training is not required under federal law, several states have enacted legislation specifically requiring sexual harassment training. Even if not required by state law, several landmark legal decisions make it clear that sexual harassment training is essential. To raise a defense or avoid punitive damages in sexual harassment lawsuits, employers need to show that they have provided periodic harassment training to all employees.
