Aug 2, 2017 6:30:00 AM

Webinar-1-Thumbnail - FB.pngCore values are the heartbeat of your organization. You likely have values that address topics such as respect for all people, individual dignity, and trust among team members. But every day your organization can face threats to your values. These threats can come in the form of harassment, discrimination, retaliation, favoritism, and gossip.

Addressing these threats, especially workplace harassment & discrimination, can be difficult. Not only are they complicated topics, but there is legal activity impacting these matters as we speak.

What do courts and government agencies consider workplace discrimination? How does the recent Seventh Circuit court decision to include sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes impact employers? How should your workplace handle issues related to this type of discrimination?

What about workplace harassment…how is it defined? What is and isn’t considered harassment? What are the keys to avoiding and preventing harassment?

We know there is a lot of noise in the HR world, and especially with confusing topics such as these, it can be hard to keep up. That’s why we’ve brought in labor & employment law expert John Kuehn, Partner at LaDue | Curran | Kuehn, to address these issues.

Ready to turn down the volume and tackle these HR challenges? Tune into the webinar to learn:

  • Tools for preventing and correcting unlawful harassment and discrimination, and
  • What recent developments mean for employers, especially the Seventh Circuit’s decision on sexual orientation as a protected class.
