Throughout 2017, women and men came forward bringing allegations of sexual harassment against their employers and co-workers. Among others, Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, Kevin Spacey, Mark Halperin and Bill O’Reilly, together with the companies with which they are affiliated, have come under fire.
Employers across the country are grappling with new and re-visited allegations about hostile work environments as more and more alleged victims come forward with their claims. With prominent initiatives forming to combat sexual harassment in the workplace, these issues are likely to develop further. Don’t put your company at risk for accusations of sexual harassment!
Join us for a comprehensive discussion on sexual harassment in the workplace, focused on what business owners and HR professionals need to know in today’s uncertain landscape. Employment Law Attorney Merry Campbell will provide critical insights, including preventing hostile work environments, avoiding harassment allegations and properly responding to workplace misconduct claims.
