Download or read book Developing and Maintaining A Sexual Harassment Free Workplace A Guide For Managers Second Edition written by David J. Bassham and published by . This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updating the first edition published in 2000, this book provides legal definitions and implications of sexual harassment, as well as an easy-to-follow guide for preventing sexual harassment and limiting liability in litigation. The first edition covered all of the bases on the topic, but this revision attempts to clear up some of the gray areas and allows the author, with more than ten years of consulting and training to organizations, share his insights about how to stay out of court. Sexual harassment complaints can cause not only public embarrassment, but also monetary losses from health claims and loss of employee productivity. Add in the considerable financial loss resulting from lawsuits, even if the organization is found to be not liable, and the question is not should employers take reasonable steps to prevent or correct promptly any sexually harassing behavior, but more how do they take those reasonable steps.

Download or read book A Manager s Guide to Employment Law written by Dana M. Muir and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-06-03 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managers at all levels are constantly challenged to do more with fewer employees, to motivate diverse groups of people, and to face up to tough people problems in their workforces. An important key to managers' success is accomplishing these goals while protecting themselves and their companies from legal liability. Yet some in management tend to blame legal requirements for hindering progress toward solving problems. U.S. law, however, provides managers with broad discretion in many employment situations and in most cases helps ensure that managers perform their essential functions in a way that is fundamentally fair while still supporting company goals. A Manager's Guide to Employment Law will help managers make day-to-day decisions on how best to manage their employees and handle issues of legal liability. Expert author Dana Muir identifies the subtle and unnecessary mistakes managers make that cause legal headaches and shows how becoming familiar with basic principles of employment law will enable them to develop an internal compass to help make the right decisions. Each chapter focuses on legal concepts of broad application in today's workplace, providing real examples of problems managers face and offering strategies for addressing those problems.

Aggarwal and Madhu M. Guptas Sexual Harassment Investigations: How to Limit Your Liability and More A Practical Guide presents a comprehensive overview of the current law on sexual harassment in North America. Sexual harassment in the workplace is a pervasive concern, and no employer can afford to be passive or careless about this weighty subject. Prevention through effective sexual harassment policies and education is the key to maintaining a healthy and productive work environment. Dr. Aggarwal and Ms. Gupta have penned an informative and practical text on the legal aspects of sexual harassment, designed to appeal to employers, legal practitioners, and members of the general public alike. The text is divided into five logical and accessible segments. The discussion begins with a clear and concise explanation of the current state of the law on sexual harassment how the law defines sexual harassment and what behaviours amount to sexual harassment in the workplace. The authors outline the costs of sexual harassment in the workplace, and the relatively small costs of implementing effective preventative measures.Part two lays out guidelines for creating and implementing an effective sexual harassment policy, including what employers should, and more importantly, should not do, in order to prevent and to act on sexual harassment complaints, including how to approach the tricky topic of workplace romance.Parts three and four examine the various approaches to dealing with a sexual harassment complaint, including the advantages and shortcomings of litigation and mediation. The authors walk readers through the various steps involved in the investigation and resolution of a sexual harassment complaint through both formal and informal channels.The final and most substantive section of the text provides an in-depth practical guide to the investigation process and available remedies. The authors offer step-by-step advice on how to undertake the often-difficult task of interviewing the parties and witnesses, how to ensure the investigation is properly documented, and how to determine the proper resolution of a complaint. The final chapter examines the available remedies and penalties, and encourages a resolution that will satisfy all involved parties.The text, which acts as the roadmap for a fair and complete investigation, incorporates a series of extraordinarily useful and user-friendly checklists and sample forms. The forms include a sample pre-investigation planning chart, sexual harassment policy, policy provisions for complaints against senior management, a sexual harassment complaint form and an investigation report layout.In completing their task, the authors have faced head-on the most difficult practical challenges in a harassment complaint investigation, including whether to investigate informally or formally, when and how to mediate a complaint, the selection of the most appropriate investigator(s), legal representation, privacy protection, and information access in a multiplicity of contexts, including the privilege attaching to an investigation and the extent to which the complaint and the investigation report ought to be disclosed to the parties and the workplace public. As in the totality of their work, Aggarwal and Gupta have addressed these thorny issues with strong intellect, skill, and balance.Sexual Harassment Investigations: How to Limit Your Liability and More A Practical Guide will appeal to anyone interested in learning about sexual harassment in the workplace. Legal practitioners and judges will find the legal analysis and case law discussion to be thorough, accessible, and current. Academics and students will discover an expansive, but readily legible, treatment of the issues surrounding sexual harassment that balances the theoretical legal aspects with practical real-life scenarios. Employers and human resources personnel will find this to be an indispensable text in perfecting their current sexual harassment policies as well as how to deal with even the most complex sexual harassment complaints.
