    Sexual Harassment: Understanding The Law - Management Version (DVD)

  • Free Online Preview - Management Version
  • The EEOC has extended the Supreme Court's rulings on Sexual Harassment to all forms of harassment prohibited by federal anti-discrimination laws.

    If you’re faced with a harassment charge, these videos can be taken into court. They are proof that your firm has clearly communicated its policy prohibiting harassment. The videos are a most effective defense when used in conjunction with a written policy prohibiting harassment and a personal endorsement by your CEO.

    This powerfully dramatized video training is built around the reactions of employees and managers when a popular supervisor is fired for Sexual Harassment and permitting a Hostile Work Environment to exist even though there were complaints. The law, as well as the law's impact are clearly described and defined.

    The Management Edition (17 min.) is ideal for a well-educated work force, its management, and its supervisors.

    The Employee Edition (14 min.) is formatted for supervisors and members of non-exempt hourly work forces.

    Both editions cover:
    • Hostile work environment
    • Non-employee harassment
    • Away from work place harassment

    The jury renders a stunning decision in this Brunswick, Georgia courtroom.

    Arguments before the Honorable James E. Graham, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Georgia and the jury open this training video. Lawyers defend an Age Discrimination charge brought by a terminated Vice President. In cross examination the former Vice President admits a brief affair with his female assistant and asking her to handle offensive e-mail. But his attorney insists Age Discrimination was the reason for termination.

    The judge's charge to the jury and narration on the law precede the jury room deliberations. What the jury found most interesting about the defendant’s actions lead to an astonishing jury conclusion. A conclusion that provides valuable insights for managers and supervisors on the potential impact of both Age Discrimination and Sexual Harassment.

    Race Discrimination Audio Conference CD
    Race Discrimination: How to Avoid the #1 Type of Bias Claim in America – And Avoid Costly Lawsuits

    Race Discrimination Audio Conference and CD -

    Credits:

    This program has been approved for 1.5 recertification credit hours toward PHR and SPHR recertification through the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI). For more information about certification or recertification, please visit the HRCI homepage at www.hrci.org. The use of this seal is not an endorsement by HRCI of the quality of the program. It means that this program has met HRCI’s criteria to be pre-approved for recertification.

    Description:

    Race discrimination is the #1 type of claim filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) - more than a third of the agency’s entire caseload in recent years. And, the stakes for employers keep getting higher. EEOC broke records in 2008 with the dollar amounts of its race discrimination settlements with employers.

    In 2009, the experts say, you’ll face even greater risks from race-related claims and lawsuits. Recent surveys show that 3 in 10 Americans have admitted feelings of racial prejudice, and they’re bringing those feelings into your workplace. The souring economy may encourage even more disgruntled workers to file claims seeking financial settlements.

    Plus, employment lawyers have recently identified new types of race bias claims that trip up even savvy employers - from lawsuits that combine racial and gender discrimination allegations to accusations that you didn’t hire certain workers due to the content of their video resumes.

    Join us for this important audio conference on February 20, as our expert speakers explain the do's and don’ts of recognizing and preventing race bias in your workplace. They’ll discuss not only the legal issues and risks involved in race discrimination claims, but also the practical ways you can train your supervisors and your frontline workers to stamp out these problems before they mushroom into lawsuits. You’ll also have the chance to submit the race bias questions that have been troubling you directly to our experts – anonymously, if you wish.

An accomplished speaker and author on HR issues, Davis has developed numerous tools for managers such as the Behavioral Risk Management Program (an aid to help organizations reduce the risk and exposure of inappropriate behavior in the workplace). He has conducted extensive behavioral risk management trainings to share effective communication techniques, behavior modification, and employee motivation for private companies, government agencies, and university personnel. Davis earned his doctoral degree in psychology from the United States International University.

    Joseph L. Beachboard, Esq., is a partner at the Los Angeles office of law firm Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, PC. A longtime employment and labor relations attorney, he speaks regularly before human resource, personnel, and employer groups on cutting-edge employment law topics. He is a founding member and the executive director of the Management Employment Law Roundtable, a nationwide, invitation-only organization of management, labor, and employment attorneys. He earned his law degree at Vanderbilt University School of Law.

    You and your colleagues will learn:

    • What constitutes race bias, and why the definition matters
    • How race bias can lead to problems in many different phases of the employment relationship - from recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions to compensation levels and terminations
    • The seemingly innocuous ways in which race bias can lead to big trouble (e.g., hiring workers based on video resumes, employment tests, or credit scores that arguably affect minority groups disparately)
    • What the EEOC’s new E-RACE (Eradicating Racism and Colorism from Employment) antidiscrimination campaign means for you as an employer
    • Brand-new types of race bias claims, from “sex plus” gender bias lawsuits to allegations of minority employers’ hiring exclusively within their own ethnic groups
    • Which strategies for creating a racially diverse, hostile-free workplace have proved the most practical and cost-effective for employers
    • How you can train your managers and your frontline employees to recognize and report race bias issues before they get out of hand
    • The biggest mistakes employers make in dealing with race bias on the job – and how you can avoid them
