Harassment and abusive behavior training has become a high priority for HR practitioners, company leaders, and their organizations. Recent headlines and hashtags underscore the need to replace the old model, which trained employees on laws and rules, with a fresh approach that emphasizes what matters most – ensuring employees know how to make the right decisions and take the right actions if they experience or witness harassment, discrimination, or other misconduct in their places of work.

In this dynamic society, anti-harassment training is essential for educating employees and leaders on what is acceptable and unacceptable workplace behavior. Even beyond this, employers need to reinforce the message that it is every individual’s responsibility to speak up and report incidents of harassment and retaliation.

Training employees on how to recognize and respond to situations that can lead to harassment, bullying and related behaviors – from the obvious to the subtle – is one of the most effective ways to foster a positive, respectful workplace. Training can also help organizations avoid costly harassment complaints that can damage their reputation, recruiting, retention and bottom line.

Is FAAP the right AAP for you? Executive Order 11246, Section 503 and VEVRAA allow a contractor to set up their AAPs based on company functional or business units.

“Ban the box” continues to occupy a large portion of recruiting discussions, even in municipalities that haven’t enacted these regulations. It makes sense for employers to reconsider their hiring practices to include the largely-untapped labor market of individuals with criminal histories. Many employers don’t know if and how to expand their recruiting efforts to include this segment. This course is designed to expand your knowledge about this topic and provide you with specific guidance to develop or modify your existing hiring processes.

After taking this course, you’ll have a better understanding of the labor market and how fair chance hiring regulations affect you as an employer, even if you don’t currently need to comply with these municipal regulations. You will have key knowledge to help ensure that your hiring practices incorporate the processes and actions needed to practically deal with candidates who have criminal histories. You will also understand why expanding your hiring practices to those with criminal histories can help you to continue to build a skilled workforce for your company’s success.

This webinar includes two topics that are important for business leaders and employers to educate themselves on an unfortunate, yet very real trend in the country. Join us as we review Workplace Violence, specifically causes and signs to look for, pre-attack indicators, ways that you can help to de-escalate situations and keep your workplace safe, and how to prepare and handle difficult conversations. Next, we will review history cases of active shooter incidents and understand the underlying details from investigators and law enforcement officials. Included is an examination of motivators and tactics used by active shooters. We will then review suggested reactions if you find yourself in an active shooter situation (Run, Hide, or Fight), including interacting effectively with law enforcement.
