Online Webinar 2019 - Unintentional Workplace Retaliation is Still Expensive! And the Truth of the Complaint Doesn’t Really Matter!

Overview
Unintentional workplace retaliation is more and more common AND expensive to employers today. And the truth of the original claim of harassment or discrimination doesn’t really matter to the question of retaliation. The original claim could be found to be baseless or even fabricated yet the claim of retaliation is upheld. This can be so frustrating for supervisors, managers, any “person in a position of power” as they are still liable for taking any action deemed to be retaliatory. Retaliation is “any adverse action that an employer takes against an employee who has filed a complaint of harassment or discrimination.”
