Even if you win an employment-related lawsuit, you lose!  The cost to defend your company – not just in legal fees but in management time, employee morale and public relations – can be significant.  A better approach is to avoid lawsuits altogether.

Poor employee relations skills can have long term negative consequences to both financial performance and business effectiveness.  It negatively impacts organizational performance and employee morale and accounts for 60% of turnover.  As a business professional, you are in a unique position to help your organization avoid these problems.

This fast-paced, highly interactive comprehensive program provides situation-specific advice for handling the major employment-related interactions that you experience on the job.  You'll learn:

• How to educate and support your management team through effective and ethical employee relations practices that minimize corporate and personal liability.

• Scripted responses to use in sensitive situations and prevent past events from being used to support future legal claims.

• How to avoid senior managers saying to you “You should have anticipated this” after an avoidable legal claim.

Attendees will walk away with increased confidence in handling sensitive employee relations situations that, while difficult and uncomfortable, must be addressed carefully to prevent short-term or long-term employee morale and legal problems.
