Preventing and Handling Workplace Harassment and Discrimination

No employer is immune from facing harassment and discrimination claims in the workplace, however, employers can take steps to reduce claims and legal challenges. The Illinois Chamber of Commerce will host a half-day training titled, "Preventing and Handling Workplace Harassment and Discrimination," on January 25 featuring Jeff Risch. 

Topics for discussion will include:

• If the "victim" does not complain, do I still have to investigate?
• Confidential investigations: what can or should i say to the victim, the harasser and to other employees or witnesses?
• Should i prepare a written investigative report, what should be included & will it help or hurt?

The half day training is ideal for supervisors and managers.
