COURSE DESCRIPTION: Sexual harassment claims hit companies of every size and every industry … even those that say “it could never happen here.”
In many cases, managers claim they were unaware that their behavior was considered harassment. In many more cases, the company claims they had no knowledge that a problem existed.
The courts say, “Too bad.” An organization is responsible for the conduct of its managers and should be taking steps to build and maintain an environment free from sexual harassment risk.
Bottom line: Training your managers is one of the most effective ways to keep your organization out of court. A few simple proactive steps can go a long way toward keeping yourself out of court.
