2-Day Employment Laws Certificate Program for HR Professionals, Managers and Supervisors (Starting 9-11-2023)

Online / Live Stream / Webinar , United States

Join us online via Live Stream / Webinar for our Instructor-Led 2 Day Employment Laws Certificate Program for HR Professionals, Managers and Supervisors.  If you supervise at least one employee you need to be knowledgeable with Employment Laws to avoid costly lawsuits, judgments, and settlements and to reduce employee complaints and claims. The amount of discrimination, harassment, retaliation and other claims filed with the EEOC and the Department of Labor continues to rise every year. Now more than ever, HR Professionals, managers and supervisors need to understand and be familiar with employment laws because they share responsibility with HR to ensure their interactions and relations with employees are compliant with federal and state employment laws. One single lawsuit can have damaging and costly effects on the organization. Violating an employment law is a very high-ticket price to pay. The check that the company will have to write would include a lot of zeros on it. To help our HR Professionals, Managers and Supervisors succeed and to protect our organizations from legal entanglements, we need to train them on essential Employment Laws.
