Today is the start of Women's History Month where we get to celebrate women that paved the way for many others.

Like Sara Blakely. Not only did she invent our beloved Spanx, but she is also a self-made billionaire who has donated more than $20 million to charities that empower women working hard for their own version of success.

“While many of the world’s natural resources are being depleted, one is waiting to be unleashed—women.” - Sara Blakely

Discrimination is prohibited in all states on the basis of the employee’s disability. This means that if you suffer from a rare disease, you should be aware of your rights.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires employers to make reasonable accommodations and treat disabled employees in a non-discriminatory manner.

At HMC Civil Rights, our experienced lawyers are here to help you fight discrimination the workplace. If you feel like you are being mistreated or harassed at your workplace, the law is designed to protect you. Ask us about reviewing your case.

Advice from our expert attorney, Heather Collins, on ensuring employers comply with workplace discrimination laws:

“Employers must be vigilant in upholding their obligations to protect employees from discrimination by understanding and complying with all applicable laws. This includes enacting and enforcing policies that prohibit discrimination, providing comprehensive training for employees and supervisors on workplace discrimination, and conducting thorough investigations whenever a complaint of discrimination is made. Employers should also be sure to seek experienced legal counsel when dealing with any employee-related matters.”

Taking these steps as an employer can mean the difference between offending someone + facing a lawsuit, and working respectfully + avoiding breaking the law.

What is workplace harassment?

Harassment is when a co-worker or supervisor makes unwanted comments or behavior to you on the basis of a protected class, like race, religion, s*x, or disability, to name a few.

Unwanted harassment can also take the form of physical assault or touching, including threats and demands for s*xual favors.

With Presidents' Day on Monday, we thought we'd share some interesting facts that you may not know.

→ Abraham Lincoln often stored things like letters and documents in his tall stove-piped hat.

→ The "S" in Harry S. Truman does not stand for anything.

→ Barack Obama won a Grammy Award in 2006 for his voice on the audiobook Dreams From My Father.

Crazy, right?! It’s almost like they're normal people like us.

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”

― Stephen Chbosky

This is just as true at work as it is anywhere else.

We tend to think of relationships when we hear this famous quote but we deserve fair love at work too.

Think about the love you accept at work. Is it below or above the standard you’ve set for yourself in other areas of your life?

Even with laws passed year after year to protect people with disabilities, it still happens.

According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 15% of the world’s population lives with a disability.

Disability discrimination can happen to anyone who has been mistreated at work because of a mental or physical impairment.

If you think you have experienced any of these forms of discrimination, it’s essential to speak up. Head to our blog to read specifics on disability discrimination and learn how to identify your experience and fight for yourself.

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”

― Mahatma Gandhi

It’s a simple concept but it’s one we often forget to act on.

When we fight for justice and offer support through tough situations, we’re being the change we wish to see in the world.

We’re not just working for the sake of working. We truly care about each case we work on. And we truly care for those we work with.

What change do you wish to see in the world and how can you be a part of that change this week?

Two words that were used last year to describe us: Attentive and Efficient!

“Every individual I dealt with at HMC Civil Rights was highly attentive, and efficient, and offered me expert advice in the [time frame] I needed.” -Ashley

We appreciate your kind words, Ashley!

There’s no case we work on that by the end of it we aren’t sitting around chatting to each other about what incredible people we just had the pleasure of working with.

You all are the best!

Which word should be our word of the year? Or should we choose something even better??
