(Recorded 8-30-25)
The numbers are staggering. Every year, we see an increase ⬆️ in internal EEO complaints. And, given EEOC and DOJ activity and the administration's Executive Orders, it sure seems as though that trend will continue. 📈
Is your organization ready?💡Do your leaders know what to do when they receive a complaint of harassment, discrimination, retaliation or unfair treatment based on an employee's protected class?❓ Are you sure they understand legally what they are required to do and what they absolutely should not do with respect to these protected complaints?❓❓How about your HR team? ❓❓❓ Are we completely confident that they appreciate the investigation responsibility?❓❓❓❓
This week's episode discussed 8️⃣ very common scenarios implicating the investigatory and reporting obligations of both HR and leadership.
As always, I hope you enjoy this week's message. I remain so grateful for your support, your commenting and your sharing!🙏
