Effective and relatable compliance training reduces employee claims

Research supports the intuitive notion that effective employment law training reduces the number of litigated employee claims.

“One of the first questions I ask any employee or manager is about their training on harassment and discrimination issues. For example, how long was the training? Who sponsored or conducted the training? What, if anything, does the employee or manager remember of the training? If the employee can’t remember anything about the training content and it was less than an hour in length – I know I’ve got a vulnerable employer, with the potential for punitive damages at trial. Those are the cases I like to take to trial.”

“Being prepared through advance training to deal with sexual harassment and retaliation in the workplace is your best means of protecting employees and your business, and avoids a much more expensive lesson learned through litigation.”
