Harassment Policy Review and Compliance Service
Harassment Policy Review and Compliance Service
Overview
- Traliant’s Compliance Advisory Team will review your harassment and discrimination policies at no cost to you.
- After providing feedback on your policies and any deficiencies, Traliant can work with you to implement the recommended changes to ensure policies are compliant with federal and state law.
- In addition, our Full Service Compliance Package includes the policies, notices and postings that are required in any state(s) where you have employees.
To comply with federal guidelines and state laws, employers must ensure that all aspects of their harassment prevention program are fully compliant, including their:
- employee harassment prevention training
- anti-harassment and discrimination policies
- periodic written notices to employees
To help you ensure that your harassment prevention policies, notices, and workplace postings are compliant and remain compliant with ever-changing laws, Traliant offers a Full-Service Compliance Package.
Compliance Risk
Policies
Ensuring that your equal employment opportunity policies, including harassment-prevention, are current, complete, and compliant presents a key challenge for many organizations. Traliant’s Compliance Advisory Team has reviewed hundreds of anti-harassment and other EEO policies adopted by small, mid-size, and large employers around the country. All too often, these materials have not been compliant with all applicable state laws or consistent with EEOC guidelines.
Moreover, even when a policy is compliant when adopted, it can quickly become out-of-date because discrimination and harassment laws continually change, or incomplete because states implement new policy or notice requirements every year. As such, policies that are fully compliant when adopted become non-compliant in a matter of months or even weeks in some cases.
Written Notice and Posting Requirements
Many states require employers to distribute a myriad of discrimination and harassment-related written notices. Additionally, many states require employers to display posters to inform employees of the states’ prohibition against discrimination and harassment.
Many employers are unaware of the full scope of required harassment- and discrimination-related written notice and posting requirements, which vary by state and change periodically. As a result, organizations are at risk and, unfortunately, too often learn about requirements only when faced with a lawsuit or state agency investigation.
