Description

Allegations of workplace harassment exist in every agency. While some complaints have merit, others are made because of a workplace conflict that may – or may not – have anything to do with a protected EEO category. Practitioners can usually recognize harassment that violates Title VII, but what about conduct that is unrelated to EEO? Actions that are unwelcome, isolating, threatening, intimidating, or disturbing – known as “other harassment” – must still be investigated as potential misconduct. This program will not only identify the lines that separate these differing levels of alleged harassment both perceived and real, but will also explain best practices for investigating various types of harassment claims.
