Human Resources Insights: Harassment & Discrimination Issues and Risk Management

9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m
Greater New Orleans Foundation

Human Resources plays an important role in risk management. Each year, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) receives thousands of complaints from employees alleging employment discrimination. You don’t want to be in that number. Protect your organization and your employees.
This free workshop will help to demystify Federal employment discrimination laws, including what is prohibited, how these laws are enforced, punishments for violations, and protected classes. Learn the different types of sexual harassment and what employers must do to protect themselves. Non-compliance in some of these areas can result in penalties and fines, as well as bad PR.
This workshop will help your organization:
- Reduce your risk of being held liable in employee management situations
- Create a workplace environment that treats employees both fairly and legally
- Eliminate harassment and discrimination to create a safe work environment for all

Tori earned her B.S. in Psychology from Louisiana State University and is currently pursuing a Masters Degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Southeastern Louisiana University. Previously, she was an office manager for a computer software company and completed an internship at a nonprofit animal shelter where she improved their performance evaluation system.

I enjoy being another asset to them by expanding their capabilities and finding opportunities for improvement,” says Tori.
