provides
secure, affordable Internet-based interactive training, testing and
tracking modules focused on employee practice liability/loss issues.
Our current module covers harassment and discrimination issues for employees,
with a focus on sexual harassment. The program utilizes real-world scenarios
without the need for downloads or plug-in's, and is designed to perform
effectively on any computer with a web browser. It also provides corporate
management with real time reporting of an employee's participation and
performance in the program, along with other significant reports and
alerts.
is backed
by prominent strategic partners, including the Practising Law Institute,
the 'Harvard' of continuing legal education, and several leading law
firms and insurance companies.
Because
is specifically designed to meet the training and record-keeping challenges
presented by the Supreme Court's recent decisions in Faragher and Ellerth,
the end result is a 'safe harbor' that insulates management against
the potential of punitive damages and, where there is no tangible action,
the claim altogether.
In the decisions referenced, the Court made it clear that employers
who take their responsibility to prevent and correct sexual harassment
in the workplace lightly do so at their own risk.
To avoid absolute liability for harassment by a supervisor
- even if no tangible negative employment action has occurred and even
if the employer was unaware of the harassment - employers have to affirmatively
prove that they took reasonable measures to prevent harassment and that
it was unreasonable for the employee not to have brought the harassment
to the employer's attention.
As the National Law Journal recently reported, employers
who fail to implement and enforce an effective written harassment policy
risk "economic suicide."
