Retaliation: It’s Illegal Interactive Online Training

Workplace retaliation occurs when someone is punished for asserting their rights under Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws, such as reporting harassment or discrimination. Retaliation is illegal and can take many forms, from unjust performance reviews and demotions to subtler actions like transferring an employee to an undesirable role or reducing their benefits. It's essential to recognize these behaviors and address them quickly to maintain a fair and safe work environment.

In this course, you'll learn to identify common forms of retaliation, as well as activities protected by law, like participating in investigations or requesting accommodations. We’ll also cover examples of retaliation, including termination, verbal abuse, or unjust discipline, and explain how to properly investigate these claims.
