1. Why would I want to train my employees. Aren’t I just teaching them how to sue me?
This is a common misconception. Simply by watching television and reading the newspapers, your employees are very aware of discrimination and harassment lawsuits. These problems arise because employees feel they are treated unfairly, by training them you help prevent lawsuits.
Employees learn that your company does not tolerate discrimination of any kind. There is group discussion concerning what is and isn’t illegal behavior. Employees see that your company has a reporting system and how to report illegal behavior.
2. How does training prevent lawsuits?
Employee training helps prevent lawsuits in two primary ways.
Training is a preventive way to find a solution to an employment issue before it becomes a problem.
Cotropia Workshops show you how to create an accurate and reliable reporting system that reduces the possibility of later claims of harassment or discrimination.
3. What else will my company gain from the Cotropia Workshops?
