Understanding and Preventing Discrimination in the Workplace

The “softer” side of employment law does not mean less serious. A handbook that defines the company’s policies properly without being too binding or including unnecessary information is a valuable tool. In addition, protecting the company from a host of claims involving harassment and discrimination with effective policies and training is crucial.

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

• Determine what should be in a handbook and what should not.
• Define the types of harassment, discrimination, and biases that can occur in the workplace.
• Identify necessary trainings for your organization.
• Creating reporting and confidentiality strategies that reduce gossip and the spread of potentially harmful information
