Best-Seller!

Free Online Preview

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.

    The jury renders a stunning decision in this Brunswick, Georgia courtroom.

    Arguments before the Honorable James E. Graham, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Georgia and the jury open this training video. Lawyers defend an Age Discrimination charge brought by a terminated Vice President. In cross examination the former Vice President admits a brief affair with his female assistant and asking her to handle offensive e-mail. But his attorney insists Age Discrimination was the reason for termination.

    The judge's charge to the jury and narration on the law precede the jury room deliberations. What the jury found most interesting about the defendant’s actions lead to an astonishing jury conclusion. A conclusion that provides valuable insights for managers and supervisors on the potential impact of both Age Discrimination and Sexual Harassment.
