The New World of EEO: What Is Coming

The New World of EEO: What Is Coming

Learn first-hand how to manage EEO claims, implement positive approaches to reduce or limit your liability, and negotiate and settle the claims once they are made. EEO claims with the EEOC and in state and federal court are significantly on the rise. While this increase has been impacted by the significant reductions in force around the country, this has also been driven by the fact that the plaintiff’s employment bar, the U.S. Attorney’s offices and the EEOC have become more aggressive in pursuing claims of discrimination against employers. The attack on employers involves claims of inconsistent treatment of employees in hiring, disciplinary and termination proceedings engaged in by supervisors and their employers. This topic will assist you with labor and employment matters to appropriately assess the risk and implement positive and proactive solutions to the circumstances which create claims and liability. Learn first-hand how to manage these claims, negotiate and settle them and be in a defensible position should a claim be made. Failing to implement these strategies will continue to result in an increase in claims and the potential for significant adverse rulings against employers. This topic is critical for employers who want to reduce the possibility of claims, and if a claim is made, reduce or limit their liability.
