„#MeToo“- Fälle: Herausforderung für Unternehmen
30.01.2025
Compliance Association
“#MeToo” cases pose complex challenges for companies, not only morally but also legally: When is behavior punishable and when is it “only” inappropriate? When does the employer have to take action, and if so, how? Or are there constellations where the employer may or even must stay out of it? How can legal risks be minimized and a respectful working environment be created at the same time?
At this specialist event specifically for compliance managers, Prof. Dr. Björn Gercke and Dr. Marcus Richter (GÖRG) will talk about one of the most pressing challenges of our time.
