Best Practices in Preventing and Investigating Harassment in The Workplace

Presenters:

Bret Rappaport and David Pestell, partners at Hardt, Stern & Kayne PC

Agenda:

According to a recent EEOC report, up to 85% of women and almost 50% of men report having experienced sexual harassment in the workplace. This epidemic represents a threat to employees’ right to a harassment free workplace, a threat to a dealership’s productivity, and a threat of legal liability that can cost the dealership dearly.

This seminar is designed to reduce the chances an employee will engage in wrongful conduct. The seminar will also provide managers with the tools to properly respond to and investigate allegations of harassment. A respectful workplace is a productive and enjoyable workplace.

The seminar conducted by two attorneys with a combined 50+ years of experience in counseling clients on how to protect against harassment claims. It will run from 10:00 to 2:00 with an hour break for lunch. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.

Continental breakfast will be served from 9:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m.
