Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and office romance doesn’t appear to be slowing down.  In fact, some surveys report that nearly half of younger working Americans have taken part in some form of a romantic relationship at work.  And claims for sexual and other forms of harassment are still one of the single largest sources of liability for employers.

• What are the best practices for addressing office romance and avoiding harassment claims at work?
• What about dating policies, or requiring “love contracts” between consenting adults?
• How should you respond if you learn of potential harassment?  What mistakes have cost employers the most, and what are our courts saying about harassment claims lately?

Come join us for a thoughtful and practical discussion of the ins and outs of addressing office romance and unlawful harassment.

We hope to see you there!
