THE A TEAM: EQUALITY-AFFIRMATIVE ACTION-DIVERSITY/INCLUSION
This is a fast paced, interactive and 'Never Boring' workshop designed for anyone involved in recruiting, hiring, promoting, terminating, or supervising employees. Experience the three second rule, learn the reasonably should have known theory, and be challenged to understand other EEO/AA requirements and the meaning of Diversity-Inclusion. EEO and AA have experienced considerable change in the past couple of years.
In today’s workplace, a lack of diversity awareness and EEO/AA legal obligations can generate serious ramifications for any employer. Employers are responsible to ensure all employees and managers fully understand their responsibilities under the EEO and Affirmative Action (AA) laws/regulations. Through this ‘Never Boring workshop, attendees will gain insight into their legal obligations relating to EEO and AA, while also learning current diversity trends and how employees are impacted by future population changes. Knowledge will come from the entertaining dissemination of current facts. Indeed it is true… Diversity, EEO, and Affirmative Action training can be entertaining and simultaneously informative.
In this program, attendees will:
• Understand the beliefs, attitudes, and cultural conditions that may cause EEO/harassment conflicts
• Learn the economic and psychological costs of EEO/AA non-compliance to organizations and individuals
• Learn to identify the difference between illegal and inappropriate EEO-related activities
• Learn how to be a Harassment Change Agent (participants take an assessment and learn where they currently stand as an HR Change Agent)

* MOST POPULAR TRAINING SESSION: PREVENTION OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND THE THREE SECOND RULE
This workshop session is a must for anyone who is a supervisor, manager, business owner or HR professional in a company with 15 or more employees.
Start the year off right by scheduling this 'Never Boring' Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Sexual Harassment session and you are guaranteed to learn something new about your EEO obligations, specifically sexual harassment. Sexual Harassment complaints are on the rise across the US. Employers are consistently found guilty in the courts when managers and employees who act inappropriately have not been trained adequately. Don’t wait for that special invitation to court by the feds before you learn your legal obligations.
*THE A TEAM: AFFIRMATIVE ACTION - EQUALITY - DIVERSITY/INCLUSION (flexible length of training workshop)- this workshop is one of our most popular (second only to Prevention of Sexual Harassment: The Three Second Rule) - it covers the definitions of the three topics and breaks them down individually to ensure a full understanding by the audience. Fast paced, informative, and 'Never Boring' - this session is not a lecture and employees often respond that they are shocked how quickly the time went by for them.
* Respecting Diversity or RESPECT IN THE WORKPLACE(2, 3, 4 hour or full day sessions available)
* Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes - A Lesson in Diversity (2, 3, 4 hour or full day workshops)
* Diversity for TODAY and TOMORROW - A Win-Win View - This course helps your managers and employees understand Diversity - along with teammates, Affirmative Action and Equality - it also takes Diversity a big step beyond simply understanding the basic concept of respect. Participants go through a series of interactive sessions and end with an agreement to become a Change Agent for Diversity - very powerful and the most popular workshop.
NOTE: DID YOU KNOW that over 20% of the EEOC complaints are harassment based complaints? Don't wait until you are in the middle of a negative and costly court case before you teach your management staff and employees their obligations under the law!
Sexual Harassment Workshop - Sexual Harassment? - You Decide or Sexual Harassment: The Three Second Rule- This is another interactive workshop which takes the participants well beyond the definition of sexual harassment - includes an opportunity for participants to view situations which they will discuss in groups. They then decide if the actions fall within the legal (court's) definition of sexual harassment - another popular workshop.
* Title VII Harassment and Discrimination- Learning more about all harassment and discrimination (and preventative practices) places your company or agency in a proactive mode versus reactive - the courts are taking special note of the fact that a company or agency has provided training to employees and managers to ensure they understand the laws and the company policy against illegal harassment and discrimination
* CAREER SUCCESS OR CAREER DISTRESS - Promoting Yourself and Interviewing Skills to Get Ahead (JOB SUCCESS SKILLS) - an interactive, fast-paced 'Never Boring' session which teaches participants how to get ahead - a must for the company or agency who has employees with the skills and knowledge who never seem to get ahead - this is an affirmative action workshop that can be of benefit for all employees (for Government Agencies - a Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs) element has been added to this workshop)
* Interviewing Skills for the Management Staff- This workshop pulls the participants in with scenarios and a quiz to find out that they 'don't know what they don't know' about interviewing -they learn the new techniques on how to select the right (productive) person for the job - includes specific DOs and DON'Ts in regards to EEO / Affirmative Action Obligations for Hiring Officials
* MEASURE WHAT YOU TREASURE: An interactive training class teaching participants how to hand calculate an Impact Ratio Analysis (Adverse Impact Analysis) on hires, promotions, and terminations...and YES, this session is also 'Never Boring'
* HOW TO BE A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL INVESTIGATOR FOR EEO COMPLAINTS: Learn how to conduct your own EEO related invesigation to ensure a fair and impartial decision is made regarding EEO complaints
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendment Act (ADAAA): In 2008, the President signed in the ADAAA , emphasizing the definition of disability and the Act made important changes to the ADA by rejecting the holdings in several Supreme Court decisions and portions of EEOC's ADA regulations. This session provides a 'Never Boring' review of the changes and how they impact the business world
* Executive Order 11246 - How to Prepare an Affirmative Action Program - participants walk through the requirements of an Affirmative Action Program and learn what is required to be in compliance with the regulations (Executive Order 11246) - and yes, this is also interactive
* Affirmative Action and EEO Requirements - for Supervisors and Managers in government and private industry - learn what is legally required of your business or agency to be in compliance with EEO and AA laws
Intermediate and Advanced Training for Effective EEO Counseling - for experienced EEO Counselors (for government or private industry)- another fast paced and interactive update for EEO Counselors - meets the 8 hour EEOC requirement for all current Counselors each year, but always exceeds expectations

IS A SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY ENOUGH?
No, it may not be enough simply to have an EEO and sexual harassment policy in place. At least according to the New Jersey Supreme Court. In the decision, Gaines vs. Bellina, the courts indicated the key issue is to prove, "effective and practical anti-harassment preventative and protective measures exist." It is not acceptable to have a policy "in name only." The court also spelled out an employer's obligation to train and monitor supervisors and managers around issues of sexual harassment. This decision (August 2002) makes it quite clear that employers who fail to act aggressively to prevent harassment may find themselves responsible for damages.
