Description: | The TrainHR webinar is approved by HRCI and SHRM Recertification Provider. Many state and local laws expand the scope of Title VII and prohibit employment discrimination based upon such additional categories as sexual orientation or preference and marital status. Executive Order 11246 prohibits employment discrimination by federal contractors and subcontractors and the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 prohibits employment discrimination based on citizenship. The number of discrimination charges filed for fiscal year 2014 decreased by 5.2% to 88,778 from 93,727 in fiscal year 2013 - partly because of budgetary sequestration. Retaliation charges from all statutes were again the most numerous charges in fiscal year 2014. The percent of charges based on disability and age also increased. During the same period claims based on race decreased by 0.3%; by sex: 0.2%; by national origin: 0.6%; and by color: 0.3%. The cost of employment discrimination can be substantial. For fiscal year 2014 the EEOC announced that it secured more than $300 million in monetary relief through its private sector administrative enforcement, which includes mediation, settlements, and withdrawals with benefits. Of this amount, more than $35 million came from investigations and conciliations of systemic charges of discrimination. Non-complying employers face discrimination charges that include remedies of reinstatement, back pay, injunctions, and, in some cases, fines, and attorneys' fees. The 1991 amendments to Title VII included the right to a jury trial in cases of intentional discrimination and for awards of compensatory and punitive damages up to $300,000 - depending on the size of the employer -in addition to the equitable remedies mentioned above. Equally important, court decisions and settlement agreements frequently result in the loss of managerial prerogatives to make hiring, firing, and other employment decisions, require the organization to conduct specified training programs, and impose a third party observer to monitor compliance. Thus employers have a specific need to ensure compliance. Why should you Attend: In today's workplace, human capital has become for many organizations the single most important determinant of competitiveness, productivity, sustainability, and profitability. Increasingly, the organization's human capital is the source of innovation and a driver of business success. Human capital also represents significant potential liability, and the list of protected classes of employees is growing. As noted, companies can ill-afford to make “extraordinary mistakes.” Managerial and supervisory responsibilities require more than just getting the job done. The actions your organization takes directly affect employee commitment and engagement, morale and productivity, and employee retention. Importantly, they also play a critical role in EEO compliance and can expose your organization to significant liabilities. As governmental agencies have become more active - some would argue more aggressive - and have committed more resources to conducting assessments of employment policies and practices, organization are at risk. As the EEOC has noted, employers should not only comply with the various laws, they should conduct self assessments and audits of their practices to ensure ongoing compliance. Unfortunately without ongoing training, even organizations with the best intentions, frequently make mistakes - often, costly ones. This training webinar is designed to help your organizations identify key workplace discrimination issues and help supervisors and managers manage effectively and lawfully manage these issues to ensure they help reduce your organization's exposure to employment discrimination claims.
