Sexual Harassment “Train the
Trainers" Webinar:
The Impact on the Healthcare System and
the Medical Profession
The
issue of sexual harassment in the workplace has been the center of a staggering amount of media attention and of a surge in litigation activity. Consistent with this momentum, New York State recently mandated that all employers were required to have a sexual harassment policy containing specified criteria in place by October 9, 2018, and to conduct sexual harassment prevention
training by October 2019. (New York City requirements are slated to
take effect in April 2019.)
The
issue of sexual harassment takes on particular significance for the healthcare
industry, because there is an established nexus between disruptive behavior,
which includes sexual harassment, and adverse patient outcomes and medical
errors. Garfunkel Wild offered a complimentary “Train the Trainers”
webinar on the issue of sexual harassment. The live webinar was presented on March 20, 2019.
