Course Description

Sexual harassment in the workplace remains a significant issue that employers cannot afford to overlook. Despite increased awareness, harassment—whether sexual or otherwise—continues to pose serious risks to businesses.

“The #MeToo movement, founded by Tarana Burke in 2006, gained global prominence in 2017 after the New York Times exposed Harvey Weinstein‘s decades-long pattern of misconduct.”

This article reignited the movement, encouraging thousands to share their own experiences of workplace harassment. The impact has been profound, leading to Weinstein’s 2020 conviction and a 23-year prison sentence. As of November 2022, he faces additional charges in Los Angeles.

This webinar will cover:

    • The ongoing relevance of the #MeToo movement and its implications for businesses.
    • Key legal developments since Weinstein’s conviction and what they mean for employers.
    • Proactive steps you can take to ensure a harassment-free workplace.
    • The potential consequences of inaction, including legal and reputational damage.

As “She Said”, the book by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, transitions to the big screen, public awareness will spike again. Now is the time to ensure your company is prepared to address and prevent harassment effectively.

Join us for this essential 90-minute webinar to learn how to protect your employees and your business from the ongoing risks of workplace harassment.
