Sponsored by New River Valley Chapter of SHRM
On September 20, 2018, Gentry Locke partner Todd Leeson spoke at the Legal Update event sponsored and attended by the New River Valley SHRM chapter. Todd’s session focused on how sexual harassment continues to be a significant problem in the workplace, and management training has proven to be largely ineffective in preventing inappropriate conduct at work. Todd updated attendees on the legal and practical steps their companies must take to make real progress.
