Learn how to recognize and prevent gender bias in the workplace in order to create a more inclusive work environment.
In an ever-changing world it is difficult to keep up with the increasingly complex intersection of labor and employment laws. It is particularly difficult when you are trying to balance allegations of gender bias and new legislation with hiring and employment decisions. This material will give employers a better understanding of the basis for gender bias claims and the analysis that they need to go through in order to mitigate and prevent liability in the employment process. This webinar is essential for human resource professionals, supervisors and business owners.
