HR Hot Spots…are you in jeopardy?
Each supervisor has the responsibility for understanding and managing the
spirit and intent of current employment laws and practices related to the fair treatment
of employees. Each supervisor has the responsibility to understand and recognize
discriminatory employment practices that can occur within their organization. Utilizing
non-discriminatory employment practices will avoid unnecessary expenditures of time
and money, improve employee morale, and enhance operational effectiveness. This
program addresses the following controversial and important employment laws issues:
Sexual Harassment, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Hiring, Discipline, Termination,
Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) & Employee Handbooks.
Course Length: 4 hours
Sexual Harassment
Participants will learn about what is and is not sexual harassment, examples of
harassing conduct, company and personal liabilities, discuss why victims don't speak
out, what to do if sexual harassment occurs, and employee, employer and management
responsibilities. This course can focus on employees, supervisors or both.
Course Length: 2-4 hours
Valuing Diversity
Managing diversity and working with people who are different is more difficult and
certainly more complex than managing and working with people who share the same
perspectives, motivations, and work styles. This course focuses on the self-awareness,
sensitivity, and skill required to be successful in the current and future American
workplace. We will discuss the dynamics of Workforce 2000, stereotypes and
how they are developed, and ways to value diversity by celebrating the strengths
these differences bring to the workplace. This course can focus on employees,
supervisors or both.
Course Length: 2-4 hours

you through the process of termination and avoiding liability.
