Retaliation Claims:
Protect Your Company from the #1 Employment Law Risk
EEOC retaliation claims are up 22% in recent years.
Is your company ready?
Far more employment litigation stems from allegations of retaliation than discrimination or harassment. In fact, 57% of all EEOC claims are for retaliation. Many employers don’t realize that an employee can lose a discrimination or harassment claim and still win a big retaliation verdict — it happens every day. Even worse, some workers try to set their employers up for retaliation claims.
The good news is there are ways to protect your company — and HR plays a major role.
Protect your company from retaliation claims before you land in court
Learn what leads to retaliation claims, the low burden of proof required to bring these suits and how to guard against rogue managers who can’t resist punishing workers who accuse them of improper conduct.
Discover actionable strategies that will protect your company
Join our two employment law experts on October 24 to learn not only how to stay out of court in the first place, but also the key strategies needed to defend against retaliation suits if you do find yourself in the courtroom.
