Sessions

Workplace Application: This session shows how to groom managers who embrace their role as front line problem-solvers, who understand how to manage in compliance with HR laws

Front line managers are the first line of defense for a company that wants to minimize exposure to costly litigation and government investigations. They are the first to field complaints, the first to investigate incidents, and the first responders to workplace tragedies -- yet they often receive very little training on how to handle those critical duties. This session, presented by an employment lawyer with 20+ years of practical experience, illustrates how companies should give managers annual training to educate them on: their role as agents of the company; how to handle complaints of discrimination and harassment; which employment laws apply to them; how to manage leave under various federal laws; how to comply with wage payment laws; how to manage union issues; hiring & firing; and best practices for minimizing legal exposure.
