We all use Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to identify ourselves. PII includes information like a driver's license number, an address, or a birthdate. Social Security numbers and biometric records such as fingerprints are also examples of PII. PII includes any information that can be used to distinguish or trace your identity - either alone or when combined with other information that is unique to you. Organizations must safeguard PII and limit access to it. Only those individuals with a "need to know" - that is, individuals with official authorized access to the information - may access and use a record or system of records containing PII.

Most people know that laws exist to protect employees from discrimination and harassment. However, many don't know these laws also protect employees from retaliation. Employees can retaliate against other employees - you don't have to be a manager to retaliate. In fact anyone who is aware of the protected activity can commit retaliation. And anyone who engages in a protected activity can be the target of retaliation; even managers can be subjected to retaliation if they've engaged in a protected activity.

Recognizing retaliation is an important step in helping to maintain a culture of respect, trust and compliance. But it's only the first step. We also need to know how to respond to and resolve situations before they spiral out of control. And, to be honest, that can seem pretty challenging at times.

Most people know that laws exist to protect employees from discrimination and harassment. However, many don't know these laws also protect employees from retaliation. That means employers cannot punish employees for making discrimination or harassment complaints or participating in workplace investigations. And punishment doesn't just mean firing or demotion: It can include other negative employment actions, from being denied a raise or transfer to a more desirable position to missing out on training or mentoring opportunities or being given an unjustified poor performance review.

New Micro-Learning! Whether you’re aware or not, bullying is a common occurrence in the work arena. Many individuals are afraid to speak up when they, or one of their coworkers, are being bullied. They might be concerned about what others will think. Ongoing, long-term bullying can have a negative impact on your overall well-being, which in turn can have a negative impact on your performance and ability to do your work. But what exactly do you do if you witness one of your coworkers being bullied?

New Micro-Learning! So you know what bullying is. You know you need to speak up for yourself and you know how important it is to stand up for others when faced with a bully. But what do you do next? You’ll never change the situation if you don’t commit to taking the next steps.

New Micro-Learning! If you think you’ve seen your last bully once you graduated from school, you may be surprised to discover that you’ll likely face them in the workplace as well. You can’t get away from them… and trying to bully back can backfire on you. However, you can learn to deal with them in an adult manner that puts them in their place without your having to resort to rudeness.

New Micro-Learning! Bullying is a very serious issue and even though legal action can’t always be taken, it still requires action from employees who witness it or are targets. This means that preventing bullying and speaking up about behavior that crosses the line is dependent upon you being aware and willing to take the next step.

New Micro-Learning! Harassment, discrimination and other inappropriate behaviors are serious issues that must be dealt with. Accusations, right or wrong, can also have a devastating effect on a person's career, reputation in their community and relationships with other co-workers - and because of that, they can lead to lawsuits. It's up to you as the manager to get the facts, and it's also up to you to make sure those facts remain as confidential as possible.
