Run time: See individual running times
Preventing Retaliation in the Workplace provides managers and supervisors a basic understanding of key legal concepts and definitions of retaliation. Observe situations that are or have the potential to become retaliatory and learn a process for recognizing, responding to and resolving such situations before they escalate. It also recognizes and addresses the responsibility of managers to maintain a culture of trust, respect and compliance in their workplace that will advance the goal of preventing retaliation. The use of this program can also provide defense for your organization by demonstrating it took reasonable preventative steps.
Why Train on Retaliation? Here are 5 reasons why organizations should be diligent in preventing retaliation: - Retaliation is the fastest growing type of discrimination reported to the EEOC.
- A recent Supreme Court decision made it significantly easier for employees to prove they are victims of unlawful retaliation.
- Employees can win retaliation lawsuits, even if the original claim of discrimination, unsafe
practices or unethical acts is dismissed.
- Failure to prevent retaliation may result in the loss of millions of dollars in fees and damages awarded in administrative proceedings or lawsuits.
- Merely the perception that retaliation is occurring can significantly disrupt the workplace and reduce productivity.
Included are two modules for managers:
- Introduction & Overview: What is Retaliation? (5 minutes)
- Applying the Recognize, Respond To and Resolve Model (17 minutes)
A supplemental module for employees reinforces your organization's policies and expectations:
- Retaliation: An Overview for All Employees (5 minutes)
Learning Point Highlights:
- Helps participants understand the negative consequences of retaliation
- Illustrates situations that are or have the potential to become retaliatory
- Teaches managers how to recognize, respond to and resolve common types of overt and subtle retaliatory behavior
Unlawful retaliation can lead to time-consuming litigation and costly judgments. The courts continue to make it easier for employees to prevail in retaliation claims, and that means the risks—and your managers' responsibilities—will continue to grow.
