Navigating Within the Law - Intensive HR “Business Partner” Training
This course enables human resource professionals to successfully develop and hone the advanced skills necessary to guide other leaders and, where necessary, directly manage employee issues. HR professionals learn the specific role they play as a key “business partner,” as well as the critical importance of the “reasonable care defense” that they must facilitate. HR skills and latest trends are explored in relation to EEO, harassment, ADA, FMLA, and the FLSA, as well as the ways in which these laws and corresponding employee rights interrelate. Drugs, alcohol, absenteeism, tardiness, poor performance, contesting unemployment eligibility and workplace violence also can be covered. A variety of highly interactive exercises facilitates the understanding and provides practical experience for HR professionals of all experience levels, helping them better balance business and legal imperatives.
