SEXUAL HARASSMENT
How do recent Supreme Court Decisions Affect Your Business?
As a result of the recent Supreme Court decisions about corporate liability in sexual harassment cases, you are probably taking a number of steps to protect your organization.
These steps may include:
Taking out Employment Practices Liability Insurance
Creating or strengthening written policy about sexual harassment
Conducting periodic seminars on sexual harassment
Establishing a Dispute Resolution Process that addresses sexual harassment and other discrimination complaints efficiently and effectively.
The Alliance for Mediation and Conflict Resolution, Inc. can help you with many of these steps now. We are prepared not only to provide neutral outside mediation services for cases on an ad hoc basis, but also to conduct an internal audit of the complaint process currently in place, help you modify your written policies and your sexual harassment training, and work with you to establish your own dispute resolution system designed to prevent and control exposure to potential liability.
Mediation, the core of our business, is rapidly becoming the preferred and most effective approach for resolving the majority of EEO-related disputes. Organizations implementing mediation programs into their operation are finding 75-80% success rate, according to the latest GAO research. In 1997, the EEOC established its own mediation program. In 1994 the US Postal Service began a pilot mediation program in the southeast and, in 1998, is now expanding nationwide. Why? Because mediation works.
AMCR is a consortium of mediators with expertise in Labor Relations, Law, Business and Behavioral Science. We serve on the EEOC panel and we are also a charter mediation organization with the US Postal Service. Some of our clients include Chase Manhattan Bank, Madison Square Garden, Christie's, Radio City Music Hall and the Rockettes, Girl Scouts of the USA, Yankee Stadium, Roundabout Theatre, Berlex Laboratories, and the Common Fund.
In this decade of "Do more with less," our comprehensive services (training, consulting, mediating) can help your organization save costs, time and reduce risk.
