Vince Reese Presenting at 2019 Annual Saint Louis EEO Training Seminar

On September 5, Vince Reese will be presenting at the 2019 Annual Saint Louis EEO Training Seminar. He will be discussing, “Workplace Harassment in the #MeToo Era.”

Since the #MeToo era, which brought the topic of sexual harassment in the forefront of public conversations, we have seen a significant increase in harassment charge filings. According to EEOC data, there has been a 13.6% increase of harassment charge filings and a 50% increase of EEOC harassment lawsuits filed in fiscal year 2018 as compared to the previous year. The EEOC Select Taskforce Report on the Study of Harassment in the Workplace, emphasizes a shift in focus from legal compliance to prevention strategies that address inappropriate and uncivil behavior before they rise to the level of unlawfulness. As a result, EEOC recently rolled out a nationwide, in-depth Respectful Workplace Training program offered to organizations to assist in developing strategies that prevent harassment in the workplace by creating a workplace culture of respect and civility. In this session, panelists will discuss where we’ve been, what is being revealed in the #MeToo era, and what should happen next.
