When an employee reports harassment or discrimination, the EEOC expects employers to investigate and resolve the complaint quickly. Courts have treated a failure to investigate as akin to discrimination, so every complaint should be handled as if it could end up in court.
This 90-minute webinar covers the legal background, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its amendments, disparate treatment vs disparate impact, and the forms of harassment, including quid pro quo and hostile work environments.
You'll then follow the EEOC charge process, conciliation, mediation and determinations, and learn how to plan an investigation, keep it confidential, interview witnesses, reach a determination and write up the results.
A prompt, thorough investigation produces better evidence, protects everyone involved and helps resolve problems before they spread. A poor one can become a lawsuit and bring EEOC penalties.
This session answers what an unbiased investigation looks like, how to choose an investigator, what never to do during an active investigation, and how to reduce legal risk. It suits senior leaders, managers, supervisors, HR, operations and recruiting professionals.
