2017 was the dawning of a new era for workplaces everywhere. Employees are talking about harassment more than ever, and employers who do not act quickly to catch up in light of the #MeToo movement will lose talent and face mounting legal risks. Kilpatrick Townsend hosted a CLE titled “Don’t Be a Headline: How to Prevent and Address Workplace Discrimination and Harassment in the #MeToo Era” presented by Atlanta attorneys Katie Barton and Flora Manship. The course focused on (1) understanding what workplace conduct constitutes sexual harassment, (2) why sexual harassment should be prevented in order to establish a company’s culture and mitigate legal risks, and (3) how sexual harassment can be prevented. It also explored how mitigating legal risks and encouraging employees to speak up are compatible goals, and reviewed best practices for savvy employers to accomplish both, with an eye towards healthy, inclusive workplaces for all employees.
