Workplace Diversity

What Is Discrimination in the Workplace?

Discrimination occurs when an employee suffers unfavorable or unfair treatment due to their race, religion, national origin, disabled or veteran status, or other legally protected characteristics. This group could also include employees who suffer reprisals for opposing workplace discrimination or for reporting violations to the authorities. Federal law prohibits discrimination in a number of work-related areas, including recruiting, hiring, job evaluations, promotion policies, training, compensation and disciplinary action. You need discrimination training!

Attention California:

Companies that employ 50 or more workers are required by California Assembly Bill 1825 to provide 2 hours of sexual harassment training to supervisors every 2 years or within six months of their hiring. Failure to Comply Opens the Door to Harassment Lawsuits. Satisfy CA AB1825 requirements with these online courses.

Discrimination in the Workplace

Treating a person differently from others violates Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws only when the treatment is based on the presence of a protected characteristic, rather than on job performance or even on something as arbitrary as an employee's personality. Keep in mind, however, that discrimination claims can be highly subjective - ie discrimination training or EEO training are necessary.

Diversity Training

Diversity training is training for the purpose of increasing participants' cultural awareness, knowledge, and skills, which is based on the assumption that the training will benefit an organization by protecting against civil rights violations, increasing the inclusion of different identity groups, and promoting better teamwork.

Diversity training has been a controversial issue, due to moral considerations as well as questioned efficiency or even counterproductivity.

HIPAA Privacy & Security Compliance

HIPAA Online Training

The privacy and security of personal information is something everyone should be concerned about. This is especially true in the area of healthcare, where individuals share details of their health, personal lives and finances when they are at their most vulnerable. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA") addresses these issues by imposing stringent record-keeping and security requirements on healthcare providers and related entities. The regulations require uniform coding for the electronic transmission of patient data.

In addition, the regulations require "covered entities" — healthcare providers, health insurance plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and those who contract with these entities — to create and implement privacy and security policies covering all patient data that is electronically transmitted or maintained (along with all paper counterparts). The work needed to comply with these regulations presents a tremendous challenge for all organizations that handle healthcare information.

Americans with Disabilities Act

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted in 1990 with the goal of ending discrimination against individuals with disabilities. Title I of the ADA prohibits employers from discriminating in all aspects of the employment relationship, including application, testing, medical examinations, hiring, training, assignments, evaluations, disciplinary actions, promotions, layoffs and terminations, as well as compensation, leave and other benefits. Since the law went into effect, its enforcement by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has resulted in payments of over $300 million by businesses to more than 20,000 individuals. Recent cases resulting in jury awards of up to $13 million in punitive damages make the importance of understanding and complying the ADA clear.

This program explains the ADA in simple, understandable terms. The topics covered in the program include —

◦Understanding who is protected by the statute

◦The meaning of a reasonable accommodation

◦Use of qualification standards and selection criteria

◦Application of the ADA to the hiring process

◦Considerations in dealing with current employees

Family Medical Leave Act

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was passed in 1993 to address what workers perceived as the untenable choice between caring for their families or keeping their jobs. The FMLA guarantees employees of companies with more than 50 employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave annually for certain medical reasons or for the birth or adoption of a child. Generally, employers must maintain insurance coverage for employees who are on FMLA leave and must reinstate them to the same or equivalent job positions when their leave concludes.

Familiarity with the FMLA is important for two reasons. First, knowing the eligibility requirements and reinstatement policies will help your company minimize the disruption caused by employees who must be absent from work for family or medical reasons. Second, failing to abide by the provisions of the FMLA can expose a company to significant legal liability. For example, in 1998 a gas-station owner had to pay $43,000 for failing to reinstate a manager when he returned from leave for heart surgery. That same year, Wal-Mart had to pay an employee more than $19,000 because it violated the FM LA.

Program Summary

The purpose of this program is to provide an overview of the most important provisions of the FMLA and its regulations. The topics covered in the program include —

◦An overview of the FMLA

◦Which employers and employees are coveredby the provisions of the FMLA

◦Leave entitlement

◦Defining a "serious health condition"

◦Certification of a serious health condition

◦Notice requirements

◦Continuation of benefits

◦Job restoration

Healthcare Fraud and Abuse

According to the Government Accounting Office, healthcare fraud and abuse account for three to ten percent of all healthcare costs — well over $100 billion annually. Whatever the cost, fraud and abuse waste badly needed resources and seriously undermine our healthcare system.

The healthcare industry is subject to many different laws that concern fraud — including the False Claims Act, the Stark Law, the Anti-Kickback Statute, HIPAA and the Prescription Drug Marketing Act. On top of this legislative infrastructure, government agencies and trade organizations have created a patchwork of guidelines and codes. Together, these laws, guidelines and codes present a significant compliance challenge.

Program Summary

This program is intended to help healthcare professionals and employees navigate the regulatory maze and raise awareness about fraud and abuse so that misconduct can be detected and prevented. The topics covered include —

◦Fraud and abuse overview

◦Possible penalties

◦Company policies

◦Gifts, business courtesies, meals and receptions

◦Free goods and services

◦Discounts and rebates

◦Price reporting

◦Administrative fees to group purchasing organizations (GPOs)

◦Purchasing Goods and Services

◦Preceptorships

◦Educational Grants

◦Support of Scientific Research

◦General Sponsorship and Charitable Contributions

◦Prescription Drug Marketing Act

◦Code of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA Code)

◦Guidelines of the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (OIG Guidelines)

◦Guidelines of Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education Standards (ACCME Guidelines)

Discrimination in the Workplace

Discrimination, for the purposes of employment law, is any workplace action such as hiring, firing, demoting, and promoting based on a prejudice of some kind that results in the unfair treatment of employees. With some notable exceptions, such as affirmative action, discrimination is strictly prohibited by a myriad of federal laws. Many states also have laws prohibiting discrimination and may be even stricter than federal laws.

Diversity Training

Observers characterize diversity training in very different ways. Its proponents consider it morally right, because it respects diversity, recognizing the value and contributions of every human being. They also view it as economically sound, because it enables organizations to draw on multiplicities of talents and strengths
