 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:
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 job related issues.

 Hosted by John Cleese At the top of the list of why people think of leaving their jobs is the fact that they feel they aren't appreciated enough. This new program makes the point that giving praise where it's due is a management tool that's powerful, cheap and easy to use. It can bring amazing results in terms of increasing the quality and quantity of the output of the people who work for them, providing it is correctly applied. A department with a high staff turnover is in danger of losing another member: the individual displayed initiative and commitment in helping a customer, yet their manager could only criticize the unauthorized expense of a taxi fare. The Employee's attitude changes with renewed enthusiasm when the manager shows interest and appreciation in a job well done. Among the rules learnt are that it's important to let people know why they are being praised, make sure that the effect isn't ruined by a sting-in-the-tail remark, and to pass on praise from customers or superiors.
