According to the EEOC, 87% - 94% of individuals who are harassed do not file a claim. Your office's culture has the most significant impact on harassment – whether that’s letting it flourish or preventing it. We sat down with Mary Gambardella from Wiggin and Dana to talk about how the #MeToo Movement is affecting organizations across Connecticut.

From its origins to legislation that has come as a result to best practices, this episode gives a grand overview on what employers need to know about sexual harassment in the workplace. Whether you have 3 employees or 5,000 employees, this episode is beneficial for all employers and HR professionals across the state as Mary gives insight into how organizations can be better equipped to handle, navigate, and prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
