Webinar Description

2 - 3:30 p.m. Eastern

Classroom-based workplace harassment prevention training and procedures are not easy to apply in field operation settings. Employees and field supervisors may not know how to react to volatile real-life situations, especially in remote and isolated work venues. How can you address this unique challenge?

This webinar will illustrate the risks of remote work locations. Learn how to adapt your standard harassment prevention training and complaint procedures to create safe work settings. Learn through real and hypothetical case studies of workplace incidents in remote or isolated locations in various jurisdictions and review noteworthy state law provisions. Review practical applications of harassment prevention procedures. Get access to an employment law expert for the answers to your questions and challenges.

Utility managers, human resource professionals, and in-house and external counsel who provide employment counseling, training and or conduct internal investigations of workplace harassment complaints.
