EEOC charges are on the rise; make sure you are versed on the latest guidelines should you need to respond to a charge.
The most effective way to avoid an EEOC charge is to make sure you have anti-harassment, anti-discrimination and no retaliation policies, that employees are trained, and that all employees understand those policies.
Prevention and awareness are areas employers should focus on when dealing with employee discrimination issues. If the worst case scenario happens, this topic will tell you how to protect your company when an EEOC charge arises, tips and strategies to respond to the charge, how to prepare your position statement, and how to respond to requests for information and understand the mediation process.
