Overview:

Preventing harassment in 2025 is no longer just about annual training or a PDF policy. The modern workplace has changed, and so have the legal, cultural, and operational risks.

In this session, we will break down the evolving compliance landscape, what workplace misconduct looks like in a digital-first world, and what HR and leadership teams need to do now to keep people safe - and companies out of the headlines.

We’ll touch on everything from new state training mandates to the rise of digital harassment, and why DEI and harassment prevention are now inseparable. Real-life examples will illustrate what happens when prevention fails - and when it works.

This session won’t just check boxes, it’ll challenge assumptions, share insights, and help you build a smarter, safer workplace. Perfect for HR leaders, compliance officers, and forward-thinking executives who want to stay ahead of the curve.

Why you should Attend: New training mandates are here, and if your policies, programs, and culture aren’t keeping up, you’re already behind.

Harassment in 2025 looks different. It shows up in Slack threads, Zoom meetings, and yes, even in inappropriate emojis. And it’s not just bad behavior, it’s a legal liability.

The EEOC has prioritized enforcement. States like California, New York, and Illinois now require annual, role-specific training. Meanwhile, employees are speaking out more publicly, and more often. One overlooked complaint can cost your company millions - or worse, your reputation.

In this session, we’ll explore what it really takes to stay compliant and culturally aligned in 2025. You’ll leave with practical tools to audit your training, modernize your reporting systems, and build psychological safety across every layer of your workforce.

Whether you're in HR, compliance, management, or the C-suite, this session will help you meet the moment. Because when it comes to harassment prevention, the question is no longer if you'll be held accountable, it's how ready you are when it happens.
