If you're running a professional business, chances are that you need Employment Practices Liability Insurance. EPLI is a full-spectrum coverage for employers offering protection in the event that someone brings suit as a result of day-to-day employment activities. For instance, if one of your co-workers or subordinates gets charged with discrimination or sexual harassment, EPLI can help protect you and your company's assets from financial harm as a result of that suit.
EPLI also covers claims relating to hiring and firing policies, as well as advancement and promotion decisions. Of course, there are other ways to mitigate work-related lawsuits. It's vital that every business, no matter how large or small, develops a culture of responsibility and tolerance, and has policies and procedures to discipline inappropriate behavior before it develops into something worse. In addition, employers should take all employee complaints seriously, and investigate any misjudgments on behalf of your staff.
While creating a positive environment in your office won't eliminate the need for EPLI, it may help mitigate liability in the event that any litigation occurs.
