Conducting Effective, Legally-Compliant Investigations of Harassment & Bullying Allegation
Description
With employment discrimination on the rise, EEOC encourages employers to provide anti-harassment training to their employees and managers and to swiftly investigate and resolve employees’ complaints of workplace harassment and discrimination. But very less evidence is there that these trainings work.
Your employees have the right to a safe, non-threatening work environment. Their productivity and morale can be seriously affected not only by instances of workplace bullying and harassment, but also by their leaders’ response to these problems. Therefore, it is imperative that organizations have strategies in place in order for managers and supervisors to recognize the signs of toxic and/or illegal behaviour among employees, and take action to restore a healthy work culture.
Session Highlights:
- What constitutes harassment & bullying in the workplace?
- Which laws are violated by harassing and bullying behaviour?
- Two basic types of harassment: Quid Pro Quo & Hostile Work Environment
- Employer/Employee responsibilities in preventing harassment & bullying
- When does bullying cross the threshold into a Hostile Work Environment?
- Employers’ obligations in creating a bully-free workplace
- Preventive strategies to stopping harassment & bullying via training & policymaking
- Rules to follow when conducting an investigation
- Importance of solid documentation in harassment & bullying situations
- Complaint determinations: Inconclusive Investigation, Harassment/Bullying has occurred, False Accusations were made
- Imposing disciplinary action
- Steps to avoid retaliation
Why You Should Attend:
Organizations and employers have legal and moral responsibilities to support diversity in their workplaces and to ensure compliance with all equal employment opportunity rules and regulations. Unfortunately, workplaces have not always been welcoming to women and minorities, and many people have faced prejudicial behavior when seeking employment or while on the job.
This webinar will lay the groundwork for conducting effective and legally-compliant investigations of harassment and bullying investigations. Participants will gain insight into rules to follow when conducting investigations, preventive strategies employers can put into place to avoid allegations in the future, and much more!
