Zwilling to Present Webinar on Retaliation and Whistleblower Claims on the Rise

Course Description: Retaliation claims now account for nearly half of all charges filed with the EEOC, and they are often easier for employees to prove than the underlying discrimination complaint.  Add in the expanding web of federal and state whistleblower protections, new financial incentives for employees to report wrongdoing, and heightened enforcement activity, and employers face more exposure than ever before.  This program will help you understand the multiple statutory frameworks that protect employee complaints, recognize the warning signs of potential retaliation claims, and implement policies and training that will reduce your litigation risk.  Insurance professionals will learn why retaliation claims are a leading driver of EPL losses and how to guide insureds toward practices that minimize this significant exposure.

Presented By: Melisa C. Zwilling
