In 2019, nearly 54% of all EEOC claims were due to retaliation - the highest percentage ever.
Powerful legal protection.
Harassment and discrimination training, incident reporting platforms and anonymous hotlines are not enough to protect employees or employers. In fact, if your company is still managing harassment and discrimination internally, it is at a greater risk of facing legal action.
Work Shield is the only solution in the market that significantly reduces an organization's risk of legal suits and EEOC charges and investigations.
Work Shield bolsters affirmative defense and provides a more defensible position.
