AMERICUS, GEORGIA: March 19, 2019 – In a time of alarmingly high numbers of reports discrimination and harassment across the county, the City of Americus leads in prevention with its “Anti-Harassment Training.” Sessions were held over a three-day period last week for all employees conducted by employment law firm Elarbee Thompson based in Atlanta.

Partners Read Gignilliat and Sean Libby have been working closely with the Department of Administrative Services and Office of the Inspector General to assist them in the implementation of the Governor’s Executive Order 01.14.19.02 regarding the prevention of sexual harassment in the Executive Branch of State government. Read and Sean assisted DOAS and the OIG in the drafting of the Statewide Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy and Investigative Guidelines, and have also designed and will be conducting training for designated investigators from each Executive Branch agency. On March 6, 2019, Read and Sean were asked to attend a press conference with Governor Kemp and DOAS and OIG officials to announce the rollout of the new Policy, accompanying procedures, and training.

Elarbee Thompson's Brent Wilson will be participating at this rare event at which all NLRB members and the General Counsel will be in attendance.
