Harassment Policy Enforcement Training for Vermont Employers
BURLINGTON | S. BURLINGTON | RUTLAND
Workplace misconduct, including sexual harassment, remains a serious liability for Vermont employers. When immediate termination is not the preferred outcome, one-on-one disciplinary training offers a structured, legally informed corrective path. We provide post-incident counseling sessions throughout Vermont to help employers address behavior violations while remaining compliant with federal guidelines and state-specific laws.
Our Harassment Disciplinary Training Services Include:
Targeted Counseling for Offending Employees
Employees who have violated workplace conduct standards participate in individual sessions with our senior disciplinary consultants. The focus is clear: examine the behavior, understand applicable laws, and establish expectations moving forward.
Compliance with Vermont Employment Law
Vermont employers must meet both state and federal obligations when handling harassment incidents. Our training aligns with standards set by the Vermont Fair Employment Practices Act (VFEPA) and includes direct instruction on lawful conduct, reporting obligations, and employer responsibilities.
Documentation for Internal Use
Each session includes a pre-test and post-test to measure comprehension, with documented results suitable for inclusion in the employee’s personnel file. Employers receive a detailed written summary, including observations and future recommendations.
Structured Follow-up and Monitoring
For eligible cases, we provide ongoing evaluation and communication with HR leaders and compliance teams to reinforce accountability and reduce the risk of repeat misconduct.
Zero Tolerance Alignment
Our trainers help reinforce your organization’s zero-tolerance policy and assist with integrating clear consequences for future violations across leadership and staff expectations.
