Webinar Description
She said. He said. Do you know exactly what to do—the moment an employee alleges sexual harassment?
This can’t be happening to your business. A female employee informs you she’s been sexually harassed by her supervisor over the past year. She also claims he’s retaliating against her for rebuffing his advances.
As a California employer you have a legal duty to conduct an investigation and take appropriate action. You must make every effort to find out what improper conduct did or did not happen—even when the allegations appear to be frivolous, or when the relationship appears to be consensual.
Join CalChamber and special guest presenter Lisa Buehler for a start-to-finish overview of properly investigating sexual harassment in your workplace:
- Your obligations to investigate under federal and California laws
- Sexual harassment scenarios
- Why you should investigate as soon as possible
- Who should conduct the investigation
- Formal vs. informal investigations
- Key elements of an effective investigation, including documentation
- Privacy issues associated with an investigation
- Concluding the investigation and next steps
