Preventing Discrimination and Harassment for Managers

Creating and maintaining a culture of mutual respect and dignity is central to your organization’s success. To achieve this you must commit to providing a workplace that is free from discrimination, harassment, bullying and retaliation. These types of workplace misconduct often lead to such negative consequences as lowered employee productivity, diversion of organization resources, lost potential profits and reputational harm. Experience shows that many claims of discrimination and harassment stem from well-meaning but ill-informed managers that don’t respond appropriately to events they either observe directly or that are brought to them by a team member. This 60 minute manager course will cover the role of a manager/supervisor, responding to complaints of discrimination or harassment, the importance of documentation, internal investigations, and understanding and preventing retaliation.
