• gender-based harassment relating to sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as pregnancy and childbirth
• balancing religious expression accommodations with hostile work environment claims based on religion
• managing EEO implications of workplace interactions about current world events, such as politics, war, religion, and other controversial topics
• understanding when employee speech is protected as concerted activity under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and the circumstances it is protected under the First Amendment in public sector employment
• best practices for conducting effective workplace harassment investigations, including trauma-informed interviewing skills
• how to create a workplace culture of civility that prevents inappropriate behavior from rising to the level of illegality by connecting civility and EEO with organizational values - the best practice for harassment prevention

Learn from EEO experts as they use real world examples and case studies along with EEOC's new harassment guidance to provide the most up-to-date information about workplace harassment in 2024 that employers and employment practitioners need to know.
