As part of the firm’s 2014 National Employment Law Webinar Series, Gordon & Rees will hold a webinar titled “Sensitivity in the Workplace: Preventing and Investigating Harassment” on Sept. 9 from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. PDT.
The live webinars offer free, practical training on current and emerging employment law issues for large and small companies. Gordon & Rees attorneys provide in-house counsel, human resources professionals, payroll managers, and others with a convenient way to stay up to speed so they can make well-informed employment decisions on a day-to-day basis and avoid the expense and uncertainty of litigation.
For the September webinar, Gordon & Rees Seattle partner Sarah N. Turner will discuss how organizations can work proactively to recognize and prevent harassment in the workplace; how to handle an investigation if a harassment complaint is reported; and how a proper and effective investigation can curtail the risk of a lawsuit. A Q&A session will follow the webinar.
