6-Hour Virtual Seminar on Harassment in the Workplace: Effectively Dealing with Harassment and Its Relationship to Discrimination, Retaliation, and Hostile Work Environments

When an employer receives an allegation of workplace harassment, taking prompt and appropriate action is the employer's legal responsibility. It is imperative that employers understand how to recognize harassment, evaluate the scope of their internal investigations, document steps taken along the way, and insulate their organization from subsequent lawsuits.

Additionally, it's also important for employers to ensure all parties are treated fairly during the process and be sensitive to how the organization's process is communicated and implemented.

In any case of workplace harassment, an employer's behavior must meet a certain standard in the eyes of the law. Just posting an anti-harassment policy, while a positive step, is insufficient to prove that an employer took workplace harassment seriously.
