Dealing with complex gender discrimination issues in the workplace is very challenging. From pay to promotion to pregnancy, employers are facing risks they may not be prepared to manage. Understanding what these risks are, knowing what internal processes you should have, and what data and documentation you should maintain is a critical component of reducing these risks and ensuring your workplace is free of gender discrimination.

In this episode, we speak with Timothy Long and Lauri Damrell about gender discrimination. We discuss why gender discrimination is a family issue, not just a women’s issue. We talk about the growing popularity of multi-million dollar gender discrimination suits and the trends in gender discrimination investigations from regulatory agencies. We discuss specific vulnerabilities for employers in the areas of pay, promotion, and pregnancy discrimination, and provide some practical suggestions on how to avoid lawsuits, and what to do should you find yourself involved in complex gender discrimination litigation.
