Webinar: Navigating Workplace Harassment Investigations (Oct 2024)

State, federal, and local laws prohibit the harassment of employees, job applicants, and visitors based on various protected characteristics. Meanwhile, multiple court decisions and agency guidance have clarified that employers must conduct a proper, thorough, and legally compliant investigation of harassment claims. Failure to appropriately respond to an internal harassment claim can result in a finding of employer liability during a harassment or discrimination lawsuit.

Time was also allocated for a live Q&A session.
