The Diversity & Flexibility Alliance Signature Seminar #MeToo: Changing the Discussion and What it Means for Your Organization

Labor and employment partner Grace Speights will present on a signature seminar hosted by the Diversity & Flexibility Alliance discussing the topic “#MeToo: Changing the Discussion and What it Means for Your Organization.”

Reports of workplace sexual harassment and sexual assault by high-profile individuals and high-level executives have captured the public’s attention. The #MeToo movement has led to more and more women sharing their experiences and has encouraged employees to speak out. As sexual harassment claims continue to come to light—with sometimes very public consequences—many employers are seeking a more proactive approach to reviewing harassment policies, response plans and practices, and workplace culture, and are taking new approaches to training employees, executives, and boards of directors on their obligations to ensure safe, respectful, and inclusive workplaces.In the current climate, it is prudent for all organizations to assess risk factors and implement measures and policies to minimize risks related to workplace harassment and misconduct.

In this session, Grace Speights will share best practices and insight gained from her experience handling some of the most significant workplace harassment issues companies are facing today.
