Meeting

With record litigation and a dramatic increase in governmental audits impacting local business, come join us for a fun interactive look at the areas that are most likely to create costly legal exposure at your company.  Topics to be covered will include key points of risk throughout the employment life cycle, common mistakes involving employee leave, and ensuring your social media policy is compliant with the NLRB's recent decisions.  This is a cannot miss for small business owners, human resource professionals, and Chief Executive Officers alike!

Fast-paced, humorous and interactive - we all have our own perceptions of what is difficult and for that matter who is difficult. Let’s create a baseline where we are all operating from the same definition and begin to put some structure around this concept of difficulty.

Participants complete a quick CORE® Snapshot which reveals their top behavioral/psychological preferences. Once that is completed we move to debriefing what it all means.

Creating a culture of health on a minimal budget is not a mysterious endeavor. An organizational culture that supports positive employee health habits is good business as most employees spend the majority of each day in the workplace. Building a culture that supports employee health can also assist the organization in its ability to attract, retain and further engage current employees.

“Prescribed Side Effects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA): Healthcare Reform Update”

You receive a notice in the mail from the EEOC: "A charge has been filed against you. No action required at this time." What does this mean? How should you respond? What comes next? This program will walk you through the entire process of an EEOC charge, from the first notice through litigation. It will include a discussion on settlement - when and how, pros and cons. You will learn how to manage an EEOC charge within your organization - what to tell your management, your employees, and your IT department.
