Preventing Harassment, Abusive Behavior, Bullying and Discrimination in the workplace (for staff)

Why Should You Attend:

You should attend this course to:

• Discover the laws governing workplace protections from harassment, bullying and discrimination in the workplace
• Identify the specific requirements of the number of employees and what constitutes an employee under the law for this purpose and how often you need to offer the training
• Explore the many examples of behaviors that need to be analyzed and make your own decisions regarding them
• Identify things such as adverse treatment and adverse impact

The definition of employee has been greatly enlarged to include contractors, part-time workers, and some others. Training of supervisors and managers is required at least every two years.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• We cover the laws and examples of abuse, bullying, discrimination, harassment (sexual and otherwise) and the rights of the victim.
• Finally, we offer information about handling complaints including how to treat the accused and possible remedies for the victim.
• Many examples of behaviors that could be construed as either appropriate or inappropriate - depending on the point of view of those involved will be offered as well as examples of clear inappropriate behaviors.
