In the wake of #MeToo, voter election campaign fatigue, viral videos, social media backlash, political division, and societal discord, we are inundated with stories of the contempt and bias people have for others. Issues of sexual harassment, gender discrimination, LGBTQ+, race, national origin, religion, and bullying are all at the forefront of conversations as collective societal voices raise awareness of inappropriate behavior. Does your organization have the structural foundations necessary to encourage, foster and sustain a harassment and retaliation-free workplace? Join us for this engaging and interactive program as we discuss policies, processes, and expectations for behaviors designed to encourage diversity, inclusion, accountability, professionalism and respect. 

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss how societal division and discord is negatively impacting workplaces and team dynamics.
• Learn what micro-aggressions are and how to avoid them.
• Explore the societal trends involving hot topic protected class demographics.
• Discuss how to use policies, job descriptions, and performance management strategies to keep the negative societal influences out of your workplace.
• Understand the legal risks associated with harassment, discrimination, retaliation and bullying.
