Understanding and Preventing Workplace Harassment

This seminar provides an overview of federal  and state civil rights laws. Recent Supreme Court decisions have changed the standards for evaluating harassment cases and employer liability. Now more than ever, employers must ensure that effective anti-harassment policies are in place. Supervisors must be trained to act as role models, to recognize harassment in the workplace, and respond promptly and appropriately. Employers must also institute effective complaint procedures that are readily accessible to employees and that ensure prompt investigation of harassment complaints without retaliation. In this session, BOLI’s trainers review current trends in this volatile area and give you tips on minimizing your liability.

This training is targeted toward human resources personnel, business owners, managers, and front line supervisors with responsibility to understand and recognize workplace harassment.

This program has been approved for 6 (general) recertification credit hours toward PHR, SPHR, and GPHR recertification through the HR Certification Institute.
