Overview

The #MeToo and #TimesUp movements have drawn renewed attention to workplace practices and policies—or the lack thereof—that have permitted sexual harassment and misconduct, to continue, and that have all too often protected the offenders at the expense of the victims.  Employers must take this as a “wake up” call and implement policies and practices to prevent harassment in the first instance and promptly detect and remedy such behavior when it occurs.  Proactive measures are the best way to protect a company’s employees and reputation and to limit potential liability.  For such tools to be effective, employees must know they exist and be comfortable using them to notify management of inappropriate conduct, without fear of retaliation.

Please join our expert faculty, Hon. Shira A. Scheindlin, U.S. District Judge (Ret.) and of counsel at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, Howard S.
