Retaliation Prevention

In order for an organization to maintain a legal and safe work environment, employees need to trust that they can file complaints or voice concerns without the fear of retaliation. Most of the laws that protect employee rights in the workplace also include anti-retaliation provisions.  

However, many managers and supervisors, who do not understand the complexities of retaliation law, inadvertently engage in behavior that can have serious legal consequences to both the organization and themselves.  This is evidenced by the fact that the number one EEO charge today is retaliation.  This course will teach managers both how to prevent retaliation in the workplace and how to take the necessary precautions to protect the organization against unjustified accusations of retaliation.
