Description
Topic A: Employer Substance Abuse Policies and Hemp, Topic B: Harassment in Light of the #MeToo movement
In this two-topic session, SESCO Management Consultants, a human resource and employment law firm, will be presenting a one-hour lunch and learn on employer substance abuse policies and hemp and harassment in light of the #MeToo movement. SESCO will be exploring the challenges employers face as substance abuse is very common and the costs of substance abuse are high. The presentation will provide statistics on substance abuse, recommendations for policy implementation and challenges employers face with the hemp laws in Tennessee.
In Fiscal Year 2018, the second most frequently filed discrimination charge was sex harassment. Further, the EEOC reported a 13.6% increase from Fiscal Year 2017 and obtained 56.6 million in monetary benefits for victims of sex harassment. The EEOC notes the significant increase on the “#MeToo Movement”. SESCO will provide the legal basis for sex harassment, what employers are required to do in light of EEOC cases and, most importantly, how to respond to and investigate complaints of harassment.
This Lunch and Learn opportunity is open to the public and will be held at the Newport Community Center from 11:30 AM to 1 PM. General admission is $15 and Chamber Member admission is $10.
