With the increasing employment discrimination, EEOC encourages employers to provide anti-harassment training to their employees and managers so that they can quickly investigate and resolve all the issues.

Employees should bring any harassment they face to the management's attention. The administration has to take an immediate step in case of any reporting, and if they fail, that will also be considered discrimination, according to the court.

Employers can also discuss with the harasser and resolve the issue immediately. They can raise a complaint and investigate before the situation goes bad.

In this session, you will learn the process needed while filing a charge of discrimination with EEOC and State/Local agencies and what you can expect after a charge, a detail on how the investigator was selected, and an unbiased investigation.

How do the EEOC complaints hurt employers? What happens when EEOC penalties are levied against employers? What should employers NEVER do when a complaint has been received, or an active investigation is going on?

How can you mitigate the risk of legal ramifications when conducting investigations? What are the stages of inquiry, and what consequences does non-compliance bring?
