Cheryl Brown, Esquire to Discuss

#MeToo Movement and the Impact on Businesses

Cheryl Brown, Esquire is an attorney at Davis, Agnor, Rapaport & Skalny. Cheryl advises clients in virtually every facet of employment law including implementation of policies, recruitment and selection of employees, hiring procedures, wage and hour compliance, counseling and disciplinary actions, family and medical leave act management, disability accommodations, compliance with anti-discrimination and anti-harassment laws, Affordable Care Act, performance evaluation and review process, investigations resulting from allegations of harassment, and termination of the employment relationship, including mass layoffs. Cheryl provides ongoing employment advice, strategies and training seminars to companies to implement and develop effective employment policies and procedures and create positive work environments. She also regularly advises clients on the design, implementation, and regular reviews of employee handbooks, policies, and procedures.

Join Cheryl as she discusses the #MeToo Movement and the impact on Businesses:  Since late 2017, the entertainment industry has been deluged with sexual harassment allegations against some of its biggest names. The public has witnessed powerful men in the entertainment industry being taken down by these allegations. Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, Bill O’Reilly, and others have watched their careers vanish when someone finally listened to the women they had been victimizing for years. The resulting #MeToo and #TimesUp movements demonstrate that women are no longer willing to tolerate or ignore sexual harassment. Only time will tell the impact this will have on companies in other industries.

Businesses throughout the country felt the impact of these events with a 71% increase in charges filed with the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). Learn how to recognize harassment in the workplace and how best to implement changes to your office culture.
