Preventing Harassment & Discrimination for Managers

Preventing Harassment & Discrimination Training for Managers

Workplace harassment is a pervasive and persistent problem and the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) receives close to 100,000 charges a year of allegations of workplace harassment. These charges include, among other things, charges of unlawful harassment based on the protected classes of sex, race, disability, age, ethnicity, and religion.  Countless other incidents go unreported, so the allegations we see and hear about are just the tip of a very large iceberg.

Employers, managers and supervisors have a responsibility to ensure their workplaces are free of harassment and discrimination.  This preventing harassment and discrimination training course provides an awareness of the laws and issues relating to discrimination and bullying in the workplace. It details the actions and responsibilities supervisors and managers have for avoiding discriminatory practices, associated with race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, and physical or mental disability to create a workplace free of harassment and discrimination and understanding their responsibilities around responding to incidents of harassment.
