On-Demand: Managing Workplace Harassment: Trends and Objectives in 2017
Navex Global and Bloomberg have posted an on-demand webinar discussing discuss discrimination regulations applicable to the workplace, from what constitutes discrimination to what limits employers can put on the words and actions of employees.
The 60-minute webinar is available free of charge.
“After the 2016 election, multiple studies have noted an increase in workplace harassment, through discrimination remarks and actions, from both sides of the campaign,” Navex says on its website. “This has resulted in divisive and sometimes hostile work environments. HR, Compliance and Ethics officers must take action to create a welcome environment that is harassment-free.”
The video covers strategies for developing policies and plans for training departments and employees to minimize and manage workplace harassment, and understand when disciplinary actions should – or must – be taken.
