Human Resource Discussion questions on workplace Violence
HR Discussion questions.
1. What is workplace Violence and how can you create awareness of it.
2. Describe the criteria you would use to evaluate an employer’s crisis management plan. What elements of the plan are the most critical to continued business operation?
3. Sexual orientation did not qualify you as being in a special class unless there is specific legislation in that regard but the fairly recent EEOC interpretation changed that.
Can companies institute policies to cover sexual orientation?
From the Lecture:
Sexual Orientation
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not specifically cover sexual orientation so some thought that there was no specific coverage of the gay and lesbian lifestyle but EEOC interpreted the legislation to say that sexual orientation is covered.
“EEOC interprets and enforces Title VII’s prohibition of sex discrimination as forbidding any employment discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation. These protections apply regardless of any contrary state or local laws.”
4. Does the state of North Carolina have any laws against the LGBTQ?
