HR Compliance 101 - For New HR/Non - HR Managers

Overview

In an increasingly complicated world of employee compliance in which HR struggles just to keep abreast of new developments, not teaching managers the basics can be costly. After all, it's the managers who interact with employees on a day-to-day basis and every day is an opportunity for problems to arise that a manager was never trained in how to address.

Knowing what to do in increasingly complicated employee situations can be difficult for even seasoned managers, especially if a manager has never had training. For a new manager, these problems are intensified. For a new HR Manager, this becomes a bigger problem as HR advises not just one manager but all managers throughout an organization.

Why You Should Attend

By the time an employee problem reaches HR, a level of liability has often been created. How an manager or supervisor handles such problems, can increase liability. Further exacerbating the problem is that managers often inherit a dysfunctional department and/or are promoted to supervise those with whom they once were co-workers.

If an HR Dept. does not know how to recognize or fix problems, what can be solved as a mere miscommunication, can quickly turn into a costly lawsuit. With this in mind, the instructor will take attendees through best practices to prevent litigation and general dysfunction by ensuring compliance with the HR laws.
