The myriad of claims pouring into the EEOC make it obvious: federal supervisors and HR officials don't have a good handle on what is, and isn't, sexual harassment. And more importantly, many are unsure how to deal with sexual harassment situations that arise — making agencies vulnerable to liability.

HR officials and managers need to know how to handle potential sexual harassment situations, including how to determine the appropriate penalty if the alleged harassers are coworkers or supervisors.

In this 90-minute audio conference, Robert Walter gives you the tools you need to successfully prevent and respond to sexual harassment at your agency. You learn how to determine when, and under what circumstances, an agency is strictly liable for sexual harassment of employees by managers and supervisors, as well as when the agency may assert an affirmative defense.

Plus, you'll gain:

• An understanding of the actions a manager must take in response to a sexual harassment situation
• Awareness of when an office romance between a manager and a subordinate may be a problem that requires action
• A checklist for defending sexual harassment situations
• A list of actions to correct the effects of sexual harassment

Plus, you'll work through case studies to apply the principles taught during the course.
