Employment Practices Overview
Supervisors and managers have to deal with issues of employment on a daily basis, yet many have never been trained to deal with these issues such as interviewing and hiring, discrimination, sexual harassment, conflict and violence, substance abuse, performance management, employee leave, and discipline and termination. And these issues can have legal implications. As the number of legal restrictions on employers increase, so do the numbers of employees who file lawsuits against their employers. Though employment lawsuits are often found to be without merit in the end, fighting the charges can be extremely costly, in money and time. This course will provide an overview of these topics, why they are so important to managers and supervisors, and what can result from an ignorance of these issues.
