Learn the steps you can take to prevent discrimination claims and how to handle them if they arise.
Employee discrimination claims are costly for employers, both in terms of time and money. It is imperative to understand the federal laws that govern discrimination in employment, the steps employers can take to prevent discrimination claims, and how to handle these claims if they arise. This course will guide employers through the employment discrimination claim process, beginning with effective strategies to prevent discrimination claims, then moving to internally handling an employee's complaint, to navigating the EEOC investigation, and ending with taking the case before a jury.
