Sexual harassment discussion set

The Community Learning Council and the Oklahoma Bar Association have assembled a panel of experts to discuss employer responsibilities and employee rights on the topic of sexual harassment in the workplace.

The event will be from 9 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday at the Oklahoma Bar Center, 1901 N Lincoln Blvd in Oklahoma City.

Topics will include state and federal legislation; the MeToo movement in Oklahoma; complaints and investigations; antiharassment policies; effects of sexual harassment; and trauma and treatment.

“Each subject matter expert will address several topics on sexual harassment in the workplace,” said Ginger Decoteau, director of the Community Learning Council. “The fivemember panel includes the area director of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, an employment attorney, a mental health professional, in-house counsel, and one worker’s personal account of sexual harassment and the process to resolution.”
