EEOC harassment guidance and new court rulings have pushed harassment law into unfamiliar territory. A Louisiana court found that a winking smiley face, paired with comments on a colleague's looks, was flirtatious and offensive. Was it illegal? Can a single use of the N-word be severe enough to reach court?
This two-hour webinar helps HR and managers catch up. The EEOC's 2023 proposed guidance says conduct outside work, including texts, emails, calls, social media and stalking, can create a hostile work environment. It also addresses systemic harassment, and the agency brought its first AI lawsuit alleging hiring discrimination.
You'll also cover pregnancy law changes, accommodation meetings, wellness program incentive claims, personal liability for misconduct and recent decisions on age, genetics, disability, caregiving and gender.
Busy HR professionals and managers struggle to keep up with civil rights case law, so discrimination and harassment can go unnoticed. The EEOC has said current prevention efforts are not working and complaints keep rising. Unchecked harassment leads to absenteeism, turnover, lost productivity and health effects for targets and witnesses, plus liability and costly lawsuits.
The session suits HR specialists and managers, and directors, managers and supervisors in any department.
