New Guidelines from the EEOC in Handling Harassment Claims 2024
Overview:
Workplace harassment remains a significant and persistent challenge, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). To clarify employer liability in these cases, the EEOC has recently issued pivotal new enforcement guidance.
This updated guidance expands beyond traditional sexual harassment to provide critical insight on racial harassment, harassment based on sexual orientation, and other protected characteristics. For the first time, the EEOC has also provided a detailed framework outlining the essential components of effective anti-harassment policies and training programs.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the EEOC's updated stance on employer liability for both quid pro quo harassment and hostile work environments, including the critical definition of a "supervisor."
Clearly define the legal concepts of quid pro quo harassment and a hostile work environment.
Identify employer obligations when harassment is perpetrated by a non-employee, such as a client or customer.
Areas Covered:
Defining protected activity under anti-discrimination laws.
The EEOC's new analytical approach to evaluating retaliation claims.
Best practices for conducting a legally sound and thorough harassment investigation.
Key elements the EEOC expects to see in your anti-harassment policies and training.
Standards for adequate documentation of investigative findings and actions.
Why Should You Attend:
An employer's response to a harassment complaint is a decisive factor in preventing litigation and limiting liability. As employees become increasingly aware of their rights, organizations must be prepared to handle claims seriously and effectively.
This session will provide an essential guide to the EEOC's expectations, equipping you with the knowledge to conduct defensible investigations and implement robust policies that protect your organization and your employees.
