In fiscal year 2018 alone, the EEOC received 76,418 discrimination charges, so any employer may eventually have to respond to one. Knowing what to do before a charge arrives is the best defense.
A first reaction to a charge often mirrors the stages of grief: shock, denial and anger, sometimes worry about getting in trouble, before acceptance and action. This 60-minute webinar moves you straight to preparation.
You'll review charges filed with the EEOC, how to read between the lines of a charge, whether to hire an attorney, what non-binding mediation involves and whether to accept it, and whether statements from witnesses or managers will help your case.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Discrimination charges are part of the risk of doing business, and proper preparation is what wins them. A careful, well-documented response, prepared before you need it, makes an unwelcome process far more manageable and protects your position.
This session suits HR, payroll and benefits professionals, business managers and business owners.
