How to Develop Workplace Policies on Antisemitism

In the latest column for their Employment Law in Focus series in Today’s General Counsel, Woods Rogers Principals Anne Bibeau and Leah Stiegler help legal departments proactively and decisively address growing concerns on antisemitism in the workplace. As guardians of workplace culture, legal teams and HR professionals must understand the impact of the ongoing discourse on their employees.

“As leaders, our fundamental responsibility is to foster inclusive cultures where all employees feel genuinely safe, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work,” the authors write. “This demands more than just a passive commitment; it requires robust action.”

Anne and Leah provide recommendations to develop sound policies that encompass anti-discrimination and harassment, training opportunities, reporting mechanisms, investigation and remediation processes, cultural awareness, and how to deal with politicized discourse.
