Winning Documentation Strategies for Managers, Supervisors and Other Leadership - Zoom Session
Successful management hinges on transparent communication and meticulous documentation of employee performance. It helps avoid unexpected terminations, a common trigger for lawsuits, and creates a solid evidence trail, offering a strong defense against potential claims.
More than just a deterrent, effective communication can uplift an employee's performance. This double victory means better productivity for you and fewer resources spent on replacement and legal defense.
Our workshop dives deep into the 'when', 'where', and 'how' of performance management and documentation. It includes hands-on exercises for disciplinary write-ups. This isn't just a tick-box exercise but a 90 minute learning journey aimed at honing essential leadership skills.
Thurs Aug 17th, 3:00-4:30 PM ET

Supervisor Training on Avoiding, Confronting & Dealing with Reasonable Accommodation & Discrimination Harassment in the Workplace
In this moment of heightened harassment assertions in corporations and government hitting the news, it is important for companies to educate their managers on how to help prevent harassment claims to avoid being the next headline. In defending these claims, we have found managers often do not fully understand the importance of these issues, don’t know how to identify them, or are simply ill‐equipped to deal with them. There is also the possibility that managers can be held personally liable, alongside the company. Companies need to do everything they can to mitigate the risks of potential claims. In response, we can facilitate a customized, interactive harassment prevention training designed to stick in the minds of your managers and mitigate litigation risk.

Supervisor Training on Understanding & Dealing with Concerns in the Workplace
Oftentimes, managers do not fully understand the requirements for all of the protected classes under federal, state, and local anti-discrimination laws, and how each should be accommodated, unless there is an undue hardship to the company. Yet, it is a manager’s role to implement and enforce its company’s anti-discrimination and accommodation policies. If employee requests are not formally addressed properly, an employee may feel they may be discriminated against by the manager and company, which could potentially turn into them filing an employment lawsuit. Our interactive training educates managers about the types of protected classes, expected accommodations, their roles including how to respond to employee requests, and when to include HR.

Manager Communication with Human Resources
This program is designed to stick in the minds of managers to mitigate litigation risk. Many costly and human resources issues are caused by a company’s managers not understanding how to communicate with the human resources department. Managers are sometimes a part of the problem. They are also sometimes not a part of the solution. Likewise, human resources, often fails to communicate properly with managers as to what is expected of them on a regular basis. While managers are often very skilled in the business/production part they are managing, the majority are not trained with how to properly communicate with employees and HR on human resources issues. They also often fail to understand their complicated specific role in dealing with diverse employee issues such as discrimination, leave, reasonable accommodation and discriminatory harassment. Unfortunately, if not properly addressed, these, and other related issues can lead to costly employment lawsuits.
