Recognizing and Preventing Discrimination and Harassment

Supervisor Supplement
An optional 30-minute supervisor supplement explains the supervisor’s role and employing office obligations in preventing harassment and discrimination, discusses employing office liability, and further examines the CAA’s prohibition on reprisal. (2:30 pm to 3:00 pm)
