Free Workshop: SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND THE THREE SECOND RULE
16-Nov-09 13:52
This workshop session is a must attend for anyone who is a supervisor, manager, business owner or HR professional in a company with 15 or more employees.
Start the New Year off right by attending this “Never Boring” Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Sexual Harassment session and you are guaranteed to learn something new about your EEO obligations, specifically sexual harassment. Sexual Harassment complaints are on the rise across the US. Employers are consistently found guilty in the courts when managers and employees who act inappropriately have not been trained adequately. Don’t wait for that special invitation to court by the feds before you learn your legal obligations. Employers paid out $47.4M in 2008 to remedy sexual harassment discrimination filed through the EEOC.
The Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce is offering a FREE nationally acclaimed training workshop that will help you better understand obligations under EEO laws of discrimination and harassment. You may be surprised at what you do not know.
This “NEVER BORING” workshop is not a typical EEO workshop. Carol Baker Dawson is a national trainer and consultant in EEO, Diversity, and Affirmative Action. Expect the workshop to be fast paced, interactive, and informative…a great way to kick off the NEW YEAR 2010.
Carol Baker Dawson, President of EEO GUIDANCE, Inc., provides quality consulting and nationally recognized “NEVER BORING” training services in the field of Equal Opportunity–Affirmative Action/Employment–Diversity–Harassment (Title VII), along with creating Affirmative Action Programs. Her humorous, interactive, and fast paced workshops focus on teaching RESPECT. She has held government enforcement positions as Area Director for the Department of Labor/Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), Senior Compliance Officer (U.S. Labor), and EEO Manager for U.S. Commerce/Census/NPC. Carol was certified as a national trainer for new OFCCP Compliance Officers and has been training nationally for over 25 years. She has been honored with the Louisville Key to the City, Labor’s Distinguished Career Service Award, the 2009 Clark County Woman Philanthropist Award (Community Foundation), and in 2008, the National Society of Newspaper Columnist Will Rogers Humanitarian Award for her “Extra Miler” column. Carol also writes equality and diversity related columns for various publications, including Business First.
Carol has a degree in Business Administration from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, and has been a skilled lead mediator since 1989. She earned a Diversity Professional Certification from Cornell University, CCDP (Cornell Certified Diversity Professional/Advanced Practitioner) in 2008.
