Managers Guide to Protected Categories and Anti-Discrimination Laws

 

Learn how to handle even the toughest workplace situations that could otherwise lead to costly litigation.

Today's workforce demands more from its employers than ever before. To attract and retain top talent, employers must ensure an inclusive environment free from discrimination and bias. As a result, business leaders and managers are facing increased scrutiny from a savvy workforce, and they must be equipped with the tools to prevent and remedy discrimination, bias, or the perception of either. In the program, attendees will be provided with those tools, from understanding the ever-expanding protected classes as a matter of law, to spotting hidden issues in real-life examples, to gaining practical insights into how to handle the most complicated situations. After this program, attendees will feel empowered to handle even the toughest workplace situations that could otherwise lead to costly litigation.
