8:30am - 12:00pm
Our Supervisors are our first line of defense when it comes to harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination claims. Every organization needs to provide its supervisors with a good understanding of what harassment is and what the difference is between appropriate, inappropriate and illegal behavior and their role in this topic and what they can do about it in their workplaces.
This workshop is designed to provide the participants with the practical value of having a better understanding of their role, responsibilities and liabilities in the area of harassment and discrimination. Participants will learn when and how they can best control and respond to harassment in the workplace. The program will cover:
• How to effectively set an anti-harassment line that employees will understand.
• Recognizing workplace activity that can lead to harassment complaints,
• Understanding the components of harassment and when inappropriate becomes illegal,
• The difference between Quid Pro Quo and Hostile Work Environment Harassment,
• The steps supervisors must take to stop or prevent harassment,
• The concept of “Knew or Should Have Known”,
• The responsibilities employees and supervisors have in reporting and dealing with harassment, and
• The steps a supervisor must follow to effectively respond to and address a harassment complaint.
Participants will have an opportunity to view some scenarios. Case studies will be discussed to help participants improve their understanding of this employer concern.
Employers who fail to train their managers and supervisors lose the right to resolve these complaints internally. Help your supervisors immediately by gaining the confidence, skills, and tools they need in this critical area of training and education. In turn they will help you reduce risk, exposure, and liability.
