 Human Resources Management Produced - 2009 Every year it returns, and every year it costs employers billions of dollars in sick pay, lost sales and decreased productivity. This year could be worse. We've all heard about the threat of H1N1 or "swine flu." How it's spreading across the globe. How it's expected to hit hard this fall and winter as the flu season develops. How 40% of the population could eventually catch it. But here's some good news. You can reduce infection rates in your workplace by training your employees to follow a few simple habits that stop them from spreading sickness to their coworkers--and help them avoid getting sick in the first place. Some of these habits are just common sense: wash your hands, don't use your coworker's telephone or computer keyboard, cover your coughs and sneezes. But how do you get people to remember and actually do these things, day after day? Video training is an effective way to get through to employees and change their behavior. And our new release from Stanford, "Resisting the Flu" is designed to do just that. Your employees will respond to this documentary-style short film with its straight talk from Dr. Eric A. Weiss, Medical Director of Disaster Planning and Associate Professor, Stanford University School of Medicine. In plain terms, Dr. Weiss lays out a blueprint for keeping your employees healthy and for resisting infection by the H1N1 virus. His practical advice extends to taking care of sick family members in ways that protect the caregiver and stop the spread within employees' households. And if things take a turn for the worse, Dr. Weiss also describes clear danger signs that help viewers know the difference between symptoms that are typical--and those that require immediate medical help. Do your part to limit the reach of this new pandemic, and protect your business by training all your employees. Working together, we can all contribute to lessening the impact of this uniquely threatening illness. Length: 13 minutes
 Sometimes your employees’ behavior is blatantly offensive while other times it can be hard to know what is inappropriate. This best-selling video offers a thorough explanation of what kinds of behaviors constitute sexual harassment. Dramatic scenes cover the two types of harassment recognized by the courts: hostile work environment and quid pro quo. Employees learn that any form of sexual harassment violates your zero tolerance policy, and that this is a subject that should never be taken lightly.
 Produced - 2009 The best way to discipline employees is to do it progressively, giving them a chance to turn their performance around and meet your expectations. Start with coaching and then move on to more severe measures, like verbal and written warnings, if necessary. This new video follows the stories of two employees, one whose priority seems to be fantasy baseball instead of his production report, and one who has a habit of showing up late. Learn the six steps that can show your problem employees the effect their behavior has on other members of the organization, and how it’s their responsibility to make a change or face the consequences.
 Managers have to be as educated about sexual harassment as their employees. This award-winning program features six real world scenes depicting different kinds of unwelcome behavior, including inappropriate comments, unwanted touching, and quid pro quo harassment, in which a superior uses his power to coerce an underling. Learn what qualifies as sexual harassment, and what your response should be once you’ve recognized or been alerted to a problem. Make sure all your managers know their unique role in preventing sexual harassment.

 Who said you shouldn’t sweat the small stuff? What if those small things undermined morale and reduced productivity? This diversity program, Drop by Drop, demonstrates how the small slights, subtle discriminations and tiny injustices can add up to big problems in your workplace! These little negative gestures are called “micro-inequities” and they occur in organizations every day. These small communications of disrespect, prejudice and inequality aren’t overt, but they can be incredibly destructive. A poison in the workplace that isn’t delivered in a bucket, but takes its toll drop by drop. The program opens with an unhappy ending – the resignation of a frustrated employee. We then explore the workplace responsible for creating this situation. The program’s host engages and challenges the viewer with his strange perspective on our insensitive behaviors. He walks us through several examples of micro-inequities that could easily be avoided and then shares the key concepts for creating an inclusive and productive work environment: Put a stop to the disrespectful little “paper cuts” co-workers unknowingly inflict upon each other. Raise awareness and emphasize the importance of maintaining a thoughtful and respectful workplace with Drop by Drop. Key Learning Points:
