Structured Harassment Intervention for Nebraska Employers
When an employee in a Nebraska workplace engages in conduct violating the harassment policy, prompt and definite corrective action is to be taken. Our program offers an alternative to dismissal: focused intervention that documents the misconduct, deals with it directly, and sets forth the expectation for immediate change.
Nebraska-Focused Corrective Measures
One-on-One Misconduct Counseling
Private meetings are held between the involved employee and a compliance-trained counselor. These meetings are incident-specific, policy-oriented, and designed to confront the behavior unambiguously.
Compliance With Nebraska Law
Our intervention references Title VII and Neb.. Rev. Stat. § 48-1114. The sessions relate the employee’s actions to enforceable legal standards and company policy.
Behavioral Review & HR Documentation
A pre-counseling baseline and post-counseling behavioral review constitute each session. The HR department will receive a summary of the events, the content of the discussion, and recommendations for follow-ups.
Ongoing Monitoring (Optional)
If parties so desire, maintain monthly contact with HR or other leadership personnel to determine if further incidents, complaints, or behavioral changes take place.
This service is strictly disciplinary, not preventative. It is deployed after the misconduct has occurred.
Practical Value to Nebraska-Based Companies
Reduce Legal Exposure
Failing to act on verified harassment diminishes risk under both federal and Nebraska labor law.
Supports Leadership Decisions
Often, dismissing an employee cannot be accomplished in time. This process aids leaders in documenting and responding to behavior without delay.
Demonstrates Good-Faith Effort
In the event of future litigation or agency review, your internal response to misconduct is on record and defensible.
Reinforces Boundaries Internally
Colleagues must witness lines being enforced. Our intervention communicates this loudly to others while maintaining your internal team structure.
