Please join us on October 17 as we offer tips on how employers can proactively protect their business interests and prevent (or at least mitigate) harassment disputes. Whether it is a scandalous sexual harassment tale involving an executive from a Fortune 500 company or claims that a company terminated an employee because an employee complained about harassment or discrimination, it seems that new claims of harassing misconduct in the workplace surface every day. Unfortunately, even when employers do the right thing, they often are thrust into a defensive position in employment disputes, whether because they are surprised by the type of claim asserted, the individual pursuing such a claim or the damage caused. Either way, employers often feel behind the eight ball when dealing with an employment dispute.
