This is one audio conference no supervisor should miss, because the language they allow or encourage their staff to use can land your company in court.

Almost every charge of sex, race, national origin, age, religion, or disability harassment involves a claim of foul language. Any supervisor who curses is more likely to use an ethnic slur or derogatory description of a female, a term of religious hostility, or other lawsuit trigger.

Help your managers and employees swear off swearing BEFORE it leads to workplace hostility and costly litigation. Register your supervisors today for Curses, Sued Again: Why Your Company Should Swear Off Swearing.

In just 60 minutes, nationally-recognized employment law attorney John B. Phillips, Jr. will help your company avoid harassment charges and lawsuits due to cursing in the workplace. A self-claimed "master user of profanity," Phillips will make critical points about off-color language, including:

  • Are there words that can NEVER be used? What if the cursing is part of a joke?
  • What if you repeat an "off-color" joke that you heard on Letterman, Jay Leno, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, or some other really off-the-wall show on Comedy Central? Does that give you cover?
  • What about racial slurs? Can the "N-word" be used by an African-American? Can someone of Latin-American descent use a derogatory term for a Hispanic?
  • Can you use slang words for genitalia? Does it make a difference if you use medical terms?
  • What are the most common curse words that lead to lawsuits?
  • Should an employer have a zero tolerance policy dealing with cursing?
  • Should an employer give a warning before discharging an employee for the use of offensive language, or are some words so "offensive" that there can be no second chances?
  • Are derogatory terms to describe a female always taboo, or does it depend on context? What if a female employee uses the word?
  • What about jokes involving Catholics, Muslims, Jews, Baptists, Mormons, etc? Is it ever ok?
  • Are all gay jokes taboo?
