Powerful legal protection.
Harassment and discrimination training, reporting platforms and anonymous hotlines are not enough. When reports are sent back to internal departments for investigation, fewer incidents are reported and companies are at greater risk of legal action.
When you partner with Work Shield, your company can no longer legally be held liable for workplace harassment and discrimination, and your risk of legal suits and EEOC charges and investigations is significantly reduced.
Work Shield is an EEOC compliant solution that bolsters affirmative defense and provides a more defensible position.
