Spend a day away from the office and get a
new perspective on your HR challenges and new tools for meeting them
confidently and legally. Class Action lawsuits ... hints of sexual
harassment ... regulations for interviewing and hiring. There's no end
to the legal pitfalls you face every day on the job, and as a human resources
professional, you're expected to stay on top of it all.
But every day you still deal with situations that have the potential to
derail your organization and land you — and your organization — in legal
hot water.
 |
The coworkers who flirt with one
another day after day, until one of them decides to move
on. A potential harassment claim?
|
 |
The qualified applicant who was
interviewed but not hired. Could it be considered
hiring discrimination?
|
 |
The new mother on maternity
leave whose replacement turns out to be a "superstar."
Is her manager obligated to hire her
back?
|

These are just 3 examples of countless situations
you might encounter in a normal day — and any one of them could blow up
into major legal trouble.
In order to excel in your position, you must not only successfully
handle the day-to-day duties of your HR department, you must also have a
working knowledge of employment law, new hiring trends, and
benefits management. That takes a lot of time and energy, and nobody
understands that better than you.
Meeting that challenge requires continuing education that keeps you
abreast of the latest legal changes along with the best employment
practices. That is why this seminar is so important.
In one information-packed day, you'll learn what you need to know to
handle the legal issues and gray areas you face every day. You'll
also learn how to think like a lawyer, so you can anticipate and sidestep
problems before they arise. This alone is well worth the price of the
seminar. If you deal with the legal issues surrounding human resources,
as an HR professional or even a manager or supervisor, you need to enroll
today!
