 Workers’ Compensation: Why Getting It Wrong Can Hurt Your Bottom Line; How To Protect Yourself You may think you know all you need to about workers’ comp in your state, but misconceptions abound. Many employers believe, for example, that if an injury happens at work, it is automatically a comp claim. That the system tends to work in employers’ favor. That they have no control over their premium costs. All of these beliefs are false – and costly. How you manage (or mismanage) workers’ comp can directly affect, to the tune of thousands of dollars every year, your bottom line. Join us on April 29 for an in-depth audio conference all about the best ways to control your workers’ comp costs and avoid common pitfalls that can cost you big.

Harassment Training for Supervisors: Recognize, Respond To, and Prevent Harassment in Your Workplace From jokes that get out of hand to full-blown sexual advances and racial attacks, harassment in the workplace continues to be a huge problem for many employers. Damage awards and settlements paid by employers in harassment cases have doubled over the past 5 years – and the average U.S. jury award for these claims is a whopping $1.8 million. Your frontline supervisors are the first line of defense in protecting your organization against these claims. They should be armed with the latest information and training to head off harassment before it becomes a problem – and taking the correct actions to handle any claims that arise before they turn into official complaints and lawsuits. Even if you think and hope your supervisors are doing all they can, however, they undoubtedly have gaps in their knowledge and/or implementation. And those gaps can cost your company big. Bring your supervisors along to our May 8 audio conference on recognizing and preventing workplace harassment. They will learn the many types of harassment claims that can be filed by workers, the best ways to create a harassment-free work environment, and what they must – and must never – do when an employee complains to them about being mistreated. Meanwhile, you as an HR professional will learn how to train managers to deal with harassment issues and protect the organization against embarrassing and expensive claims. As a bonus, you can download a free set of PowerPoint slides that you can use for ongoing supervisor harassment training. You and your colleagues will learn:

 Wrongful Terminations: The 7 Rules You Must Follow to Avoid Bias Claims and Stay Out of Court It’s no fun terminating employees – even when they’ve got it coming. Of course, your definition of “got it coming” and your soon-to-be-gone employee’s definition are probably very different. This difference of opinion is at the heart of countless wrongful termination lawsuits. Smart, legal terminations require not only well-crafted documentation, but a large dose of people skills as well. And even when you think you’ve got everything covered, it’s important to remember that behaving fairly and behaving legally are not always the same thing. In order to fully protect yourself and your company, you need a good terminations strategy – a plan of attack, if you will – in place before you even hire that employee. Join us on April 16 for an in-depth, fully interactive webinar that will cover the 7 can’t-miss terminations rules for staying in compliance and out of court. Our two experts – both experienced employment law attorneys – will answer your questions live via e-mail or over the phone. You’ll want to bring your supervisors along, too. You and your supervisors will learn:
Plus, you’ll receive a 16-point checklist for identifying high-risk terminations, along with steps for handling them in a way that will minimize your legal exposure.
