Most managers know their organization's business and can handle the industry-specific hurdles of their jobs. However, many simply aren't trained to manage the inevitable legal issues associated with their positions. This course helps managers understand the scope of liability in some of the most common legal pitfalls of the employment relationship in today's workplace. Participants will learn as they take part in cases analysis and scenarios designed to build confidence in their ability to act responsibly as an agent of their employer. Knowledge and skills gained will equip managers with "prevention strategies" to minimize disruption to productivity and morale for their subordinates.
At the end of this workshop, participants will learn the following:
- Understanding legal aspects of workplace policies and practices
- Avoiding pitfalls in administering the disciplinary system
- Investigating and documenting claims of misconduct
- Developing an awareness of employment discrimination and harassment issue
- Understanding employee privacy and confidentiality concerns
An advanced course is also available.
