 IDHR’s Institute for Training and Development will hold 9
complimentary, open-to-the-public training sessions in both Chicago
and Springfield. The interactive trainings are inclusive to employee
and employer, covering such topics as workplace civility, sexual
harassment prevention, building bridges with LGBT employees, the
Americans with Disabilities Act, retaliation, pregnancy
discrimination, diversity awareness, and complexities of a
multi-generational workplace.
“These training sessions provide an opportunity to receive accurate
and timely information with respect to positive workplace
practices,” said Illinois Department of Human Rights Director Rocco
Claps. “IDHR’s mission is to both enforce anti-discrimination laws
and promote equal opportunity, and attending training encourages
voluntary compliance with federal and state laws.”
The Institute for Training and Development was created to provide
formal and unbiased education and training for employees and
employers by way of real-world applications of forward-thinking
human rights practices, policies, and procedures. The Institute also
provides customized training and Human Resources Certification (HRC)
to private-sector and public entities throughout Illinois.
