  "Harassment Updates in the Law!"

     Presented By: Haley E. Kurisky, Attorney - Jackson Lewis P.C.

  
  

  For the first time in decades, the EEOC released guidelines regarding “harassment” claims from employees.  This guidance gives employers a
  heads-up about how the law is changing to reflect technological and societal updates, particularly in the harassment space.  This presentation sums up the (several hundred page) guidance and provides examples and practical advice for how to make your business compliant with the EEOC’s standards.

  Join us for this updated summary of EEOC guidelines regarding “harassment” claims.

  Participant Learning Objectives:

  • Learn about new EEOC harassment guidance
    
    
  • Work through examples of harassment and how to handle these situations
    
    

  • Discuss practical steps for mitigating and protecting employees against harassment or harassment claims
