Welcome!
Discrimination and harassment claims are rising
at an alarming rate, paralyzing managers who
fear their own employees will sue them. The result,
when faced with a difficult employee performance
problem, managers recoil and act defensively, or they
take no action at all. Both strategies are bad.
It is understandable that managers react this way.
Discrimination claims have risen over the last ten
years with no let up in sight and the cost of litigation,
settlements and lost time is skyrocketing. Managers
fear that it is not a matter of if they will face a
discrimination case, but rather when it will occur.
Organizations must be prepared to defend
themselves against these types of accusations.
There is good news. The courts look
kindly on those managers and organizations who take
positive steps to prevent the likelihood that
discrimination and harassment cases will arise in the
first place.
Organizations that have in place clear policies, train
and educate their managers and employees, have
consistent management practices that address
discrimination and harassment issues, and nurture a
respectful workplace culture, will find that
discrimination and harassment claims become rare
or never occur at all.
I have written a simple step-by-step guide to help
you address these workplace issues. It is titled
Preventing Discrimination & Harassment
Claims. If you would like a copy, call me at
