The Cheesecake
Factory Inc. headquarters in Calabasas set the style

was built thirteen years ago. |

The Cheesecake Factory
currently provides more than 600 jobs in the Conejo
Valley. In 1989, the company built its headquarters
on Agoura Road in Calabasas to host its corporate
office and head bakery.
"Thirteen years ago, the newly developing Calabasas
area was the perfect setting for The Cheesecake
Factory headquarters. Its architecture was one
of the initial models that set the tone and look
for the city to follow," says Howard Gordon, Senior
Vice President of Development and Marketing.

In the aftermath
of recent terrorist threats, many have openly
expressed anger and hostility toward members of
particular religious and ethnic groups.
Given the present climate of heightened sensitively
and scrutiny regarding certain racial and religious
groups, employers must focus on recognizing harassment
issues in their workplace. They also must educate
their employees and managers about workplace policies
forbidding such harassment and their respective
duties regarding such acts.
Employer liability for sexually harassing conduct
of its supervisors is well established. An employer
may be strictly liable for the sexually harassing
conduct of a supervisor that creates a hostile
work environment. Where the supervisors conduct
results in a "significant change in employment
status", such as hiring, firing, or failure to
promote, the employer will be vicariously liable
for the conduct of its supervisors. The employer's
best defense to avoid liability is a clearly annunciated
policy against harassment, defined procedures
for reporting harassment and to take prompt action
to correct harassing behavior when it occurs or
is reported. Recent court decisions have applied
the vicarious liability standard to claims of
religious hostile work environment and racial
harassment... |
