EEO Basics: What Supervisors Need to Know
In a whodunit format, supervisors will be presented with complaints, evidence and information about the federal EEO laws and decide who will win or lose the case. The course will provide feedback about each verdict. Supervisors will learn to think more before they act by being shown how their actions may impact the outcome of a lawsuit.
This training program contains special sections on interviewing, leaves of absence, discipline and evaluations.
