COURSE DESCRIPTION: If you just
read the headlines you’d think employers can’t fire people without
getting sued, that greedy attorneys and “entitlement minded”
employees have supervisors held hostage. But if you read the details
behind most lawsuits, you’d see most of them could have been avoided
if supervisors had said and done the right things.
This course will
discuss in depth three key principles that supervisors must
understand to prevent lawsuits that arise from employee
terminations:
#1 Be Consistent. Learn the three
most common ways that supervisor inconsistency leads to costly
lawsuits. Our speaker will also explore a critical paradox – Why
it’s better to be consistently wrong than to be inconsistently
right.
#2 Document, document, document!
You’ve heard a thousand times before that you need to document every
interaction with a problem employee. But do your supervisors know
the most common documents that companies fail to produce? And do
they know which documents plaintiff’s lawyers pounce on to get
traction for their cases?
Our speaker will
reveal how supervisors can use documentation to protect their
companies.
#3 You’re a boss, not just an
employee. Many supervisors fraternize with subordinates and
try to be “one of the gang.” They may even tell an occasional “dumb
blonde” joke or make a stray comment about “old timers.” In many
environments, harmless banter can be good for morale and team
building. But at what point does a supervisor cross the line? At
what point does harmless banter become evidence of bias in a legal
case? Attend this session to find out where that line is.
