Preventing Employment Discrimination e-learning course

Preventing Employee Discrimination e-learning course teaches managers and supervisors the importance of making fair, consistent and legal employment decisions that comply with anti-discrimination laws, promote respect and in turn, prevent charges of discrimination.

Discrimination unfairly denies its victims equal opportunities at work. It impedes morale and productivity and can damage a company’s reputation. When discrimination is based on certain “protected” grounds, it is illegal and may result in a long, costly court battle and liability including punitive damages. Ensuring that managers and supervisors understand their responsibilities under federal and state anti-discrimination laws and organizational policies is essential to prevent discriminatory actions and, in turn, avoid law suits.
