EEO statistics and reports from agency employees indicate that harassment continues to be a significant problem in the federal workplace. Sexual harassment gets the most attention, but agencies must also concentrate on preventing the many other potential liabilities in harassment based on race, color, national origin, disability, age and religion.

With a vast range of circumstances leading to claims, avoiding harassment is tricky … but possible.

In this 90-minute audio conference, Allison Uehling, Esq., will discuss recent EEOC decisions that explain what constitutes unlawful harassment, how agencies can be found liable for harassment, and ways to avoid harassment claims. Ms. Uehling will highlight what the EEOC has found to be best practices to respond to harassment claims — and what actions were deemed inappropriate.

You'll get specific guidance on:

• What it means to respond immediately and appropriately to a harassment claim
• How agencies can avoid liability for supervisory harassment
• How some agencies run into trouble by addressing only issues of sexual harassment
• And much more!
