You Be the Judge II - DVD

Free Online Preview

Updated best-seller that will teach you legal interviewing skills to avoid a discrimination lawsuit!

For Your Business Issues On Hiring, Legal Issues, Personnel Staffing, Recruiting, Retention, Selection Interviewing, Turnover

How-To Training Points:

  • How to ask legal interview questions
  • How to take objective, job-related notes that won’t get you into legal trouble
  • How to avoid discrimination during the interviewing process
  • How to hire on the basis of job-related issues only
  • How to avoid questions of age, race, sex, religion and national origin
  • How to use a structured interview plan

Managers within your organization may well understand the importance of avoiding obvious discriminatory interview questions based on age, race, sex, religion and national origin. But, what if a manager asks a discriminatory question— unintentionally?

The updated training program You Be the Judge II provides managers with expert advice about why they must be aware of their legal limitations before conducting a job interview. This includes knowing which questions are legal and illegal, and following a structured interview plan that directly relates to the job requirements. In addition, by avoiding spontaneous comments or questions that aren’t included in the interview plan, managers are less likely to let the interview steer off track to the job applicant’s personal life. In short, managers will walk away from this video knowing the important rule of thumb: if the interview question does not relate to the job, don’t ask it!

Viewers will learn how interviewing questions concerning age, race and religion can be legally rephrased to ask specific questions about jobrelated issues.

Added features and benefits of DVD training include:

  • English and Spanish versions – many also include Portuguese
  • A customizable PowerPoint™ presentation
  • Informative training points and bonus material for refresher or training talks

Based on the principles developed by Glenn M. Parker in the best-selling Parker Team-Player Survey, this film shows in detail the four primary team-member styles in action -- the contributor, the collaborator, the communicator and the challenger. The object is to make the most of each team player's unique perspective. To accomplish this goal, team players must learn to identify their own style and the style of other team members, avoid carrying their style too far, learn to acknowledge the value of others' styles, use the appropriate style to maximum team advantage, and learn to switch their style when it suits the needs of the team.

Participants will be able to identify:

  • Four distinct team-player styles and recognize how each style contributes to a team and can potentially hinder a team
