The Center for Workplace Compliance (CWC), our affiliated nonprofit membership association, has refreshed its Anti-Retaliation Communications Template. CWC’s updated template offers employers a modernized example to guide managers and supervisors when an employee files a retaliation complaint.

Retaliation allegations appear in approximately half of all EEOC and state agency charges. Employers can reduce their legal risk and reinforce their organizational culture by training managers to address employee complaints professionally and consistently.

CWC members can read more here. CWC members also should review CWC’s Practical Pointers for Minimizing Unlawful Retaliation Claims for additional actionable guidance on preventing retaliation.
