Stay Up to Date: Hostile Work Environment Harassment in 2025 – February 19, 2025

A joke. A threat. A slap. A social media post. These could all possibly lead to viable claims of a hostile work environment harassment. But then again, they may not. Claims of harassment and more specifically, hostile work environment, continue to soar in the Federal workplace, along with confusion about what actions fit the legal definition.

The EEOC was so concerned, it updated its harassment guidance for the first time since the previous century. This course examines the new guidance, reviews recent case law, clarifies legal developments, and discusses emerging issues. This fast-paced, yet comprehensive training offers an accurate snapshot of the types of harassment that are occurring (both online and onsite) and how to most effectively address them.

Learning objectives

• Identify key points addressed in the most recent EEOC enforcement guidance on workplace harassment.
• Recognize harassment and determine if it’s EEO-related or not.
• Explain the requirements of “unwelcome” and “sufficiently severe or pervasive” conduct.
