Doing HR right will improve the work environment -- and help protect the company against the unexpected.

About Our Training Programs:

Today's workplace brings together a variety of generation and cultural differences. Finding the "right" employees, training and retaining them to make the workplace a more productive environment should be on the top of every manager's and human resource professional's wish list.

Knowing what to look for in the ideal job candidate, putting forth the effort to keep his/her job challenging and developing the skills necessary to achieve the highest levels of productivity and quality should be every manager's goal. If an employee does not succeed, despite the manager's best efforts, the organization must then deal with the problem in the most effective and efficient manner. 

The training programs we have developed deal with the legal and human elements involved in maintaining good employee relations. In our programs you will learn ways to increase your effectiveness in the areas of job interviewing, employee orientations, performance appraisals and constructive discipline and termination. Learning to do it right will help improve the workplace and protect your organization in any legal proceeding if things do not go as planned.

Our training programs cover the full range of employee relations. Listed below are samples of some of the programs that are available to your organization:

  • Documentation
  • Employee Discipline
  • Employee Orientation
  • Interviewing
  • Labor and Employment Law
  • Performance Evaluations
  • Sexual Harassment
  • Termination

About the Book:

They Never Saw It Coming … An Employer's Guide for Reducing Stress and Violence in the Workplace.

The world is full of violence. We hear about it every day and it has become a nightmare for many organizations. Whether at home, at school or work, violence has become a major concern in our society and cannot be ignored.

Workplace violence has increased significantly over the last decade and has become the fastest growing type of homicide in the United States. Its long-term impact, both financially and psychologically, can be devastating, affecting families, co-workers and friends long after an incident has occurred. When it happens it will change your home, school or workplace forever.

My book, They Never Saw It Coming … An Employer's Guide for Reducing Stress and Violence in the Workplace, represents a summary of many professional experiences, accumulated over 40 years of practice as both a human resource executive and labor and employment attorney. My book provides guidelines for employers on how to deal with the growing problem of workplace stress and violence. 

It is only through the development of well planned and organized employee relations programs in a setting that encourages open communication, honesty and respect, can workplace harmony be achieved and employees made to feel that they are an important part of the organization. The development and implementation of employee-focused programs can alleviate stress which in turn will reduce the likelihood of an incident of workplace violence.

Being able to recognize the early signs exhibited by a potential violence perpetrator, being familiar with his/her profile, training supervisors to properly handle confrontation and developing policies and programs that encourage open communications among employees and their managers will have a positive effect on eliminating the likelihood of an incident of workplace violence occurring in your organization.

Remember, in every instance of workplace/school violence, there were signs, but those signs went unnoticed or unreported. My book looks at the several aspects related to stress and violence and its impact on individuals and the organization in which they work. Recommendations are provided with one primary objective … to prevent an incident of violence from occurring in your organization.
