Stay Up to Date: Hostile Work Environment Harassment in 2026 – April 16, 2026

A joke. A threat. A slap. A social media post. These could all possibly lead to viable claims of 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. Plus, with the recent rescission of the EEOC’s 2024 enforcement guidance, you may have more questions than ever about workplace harassment.

This course examines how the rescission impacts existing case law, clarifies emerging legal developments, and much more. 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 how the recent rescission of EEOC’s enforcement guidance impacts workplace harassment claims.
• Recognize harassment and determine if it’s EEO-related or not.
• Explain the requirements of “unwelcome” and “sufficiently severe or pervasive” conduct.
