A focal point in employment litigation, particularly involving claims of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation, centers on the adequacy of an employer’s efforts to prevent and remediate conduct. When these efforts are found to be lacking, an employer faces significantly heightened risk and exposure.

Because the average jury lacks the background to assess the adequacy of policies, training and investigations, expert testimony in this area can play a pivotal role in guiding jurors as to key process considerations.
