Retaliation remains the #1 most frequently filed charge with the EEOC, and organizations continue to underestimate how easily a routine employment action can be interpreted as retaliatory. In today’s environment—where employees are more aware of their rights, investigations are more complex, and documentation is scrutinized—HR must be equipped to recognize, prevent, and respond to retaliation risks long before they escalate. This session breaks down the legal landscape, the behavioral patterns that signal danger, and the organizational blind spots that often lead to costly claims.
