Managing Within the Law
All too often in dealing with employees, managers and supervisors without proper employment training create problematic situations that can turn into expensive lawsuits, tarnish an employer’s reputation, and waste precious company resources. Managing Within the Law addresses critical employment law areas that your leaders, managers and supervisors confront on a daily basis.
The course provides managers with the skills to quickly identify and effectively resolve workplace issues, while minimizing personal and organizational liability.
Course modules generally include:
“Latest Trends in the Nuts and Bolts of Discrimination”
“Setting Expectations/Interviewing for Hiring and Promotion, Today”
“Civility Promotion & Harassment Prevention Update”
“Bystander Intervention for a Respectful Business Environment”
“Performance Management Trends and Skills” (which includes feedback skills, responding to erratic performers, and absenteeism and tardiness issues)
“Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA/ADAAA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Religious Accommodation issues”
“Latest Trends in Performance Documentation”
A module on wage & hour/the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) - including communicating with newly non-exempt managers, can also be included. Like our harassment prevention modules, this course has also been reviewed, approved and identified by name by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in the context of specific consent decrees, cited by EEOC-designated Monitors in their reports and selected by federal agencies for use in critical enforcement situations.
Where applicable, the course can cover state statutory harassment requirements and is often deployed as part of a handbook roll-out.
