Workplace Harassment Prevention: What EEOC’s New Guidance Means for You

Wednesday, August 14 at 2pm ET
Presented by Marc Scheiner and Kathryn Brown

Over the past five years, more than one-third of all discrimination charges received by the EEOC include harassment, and in 2023 approximately 35% of EEOC lawsuits filed involved harassment allegations. Combatting harassment continues to be a key focus of the agency’s enforcement plan, emphasizing the critical need for employers to have effective risk management and compliance strategies.

In this 60-minute webinar, Marc Scheiner and Kathryn Brown, attorneys with Duane Morris in Philadelphia, will share how HR professionals can take a multi-faceted approach to ensure compliance and effectively deal with harassment issues. They will also delve into the new EEOC guidance on harassment, providing an in-depth understanding of recent changes (such as remote work, pregnancy-related conditions and the Bostock decision) and best practices in mitigating harassment risks.
Attendees will learn about:

• Creating and reviewing your harassment policy
• Training that works to teach how to recognize and prevent harassment
• Best practices for reporting and investigating harassment claims
• And more!
