Workplace Harassment

Description

In a recent year, the estimated cost against harassment cases was $164,000,000 (that’s 164 million dollars!) a year. No wonder companies are working to be more proactive in preventing harassment.

But how do you prevent harassment from occurring? What sorts of policies should be in place? What should managers do to protect their employees? And if a complaint is filed, what will we do? All of these questions (and more!) will be answered in this two-day workshop.
