HR Hero Audio Conference on CD and Streaming Audio
Presented by A. Jonathan Trafimow
August 26, 2008
With each CD purchase, you get FREE access to streaming audio. CD and streaming audio are available 3 days after each live event.
Even though the live seminar on this topic has already taken place, you can still hear it! For your convenience, we've recorded it on CD and audio stream, so you can listen when you have time or share it with colleagues in your organization.
There's a right way and a wrong way to discipline and fire employees. Choose the right path, and you'll boost morale and prevent poor performers from sapping productivity. Take the wrong road, and you risk time-consuming, profit-draining litigation:
- In February, Pennsylvania-based The Vanguard Group, Inc. had to shell out $500,000 and provide other relief to settle a retaliation lawsuit. The worker complained to management he was being treated less favorably and discriminated against based on his race. After the complaint, he claims he received unfavorable changes in his work conditions and assignments.
- Last August, a jury in Wyoming awarded a short-term employee $550,000 in damages after finding he was fired in retaliation for filing a workers’ compensation claim.
- In November 2007, a former Chevron employee was awarded $5.5 million by a San Francisco federal court jury that found the company was liable for retaliation and wrongful termination.
Throw in lost productivity by employees and management mired in the litigation process, attorneys fees, lost wages, and the tab gets even more expensive. Learn the legal rules for disciplining and firing and how to investigate charges of employee misconduct by participating in the all-new HR Hero audio conference, Discipline and Fire Without Fear: Inspire Corrective, Not Legal Action.
In just 90 minutes an attorney experienced in workplace discrimination, retaliation, and defamation claims will cover:
- How employee handbooks, performance evaluations, and other written documents can help employees understand the rules -- and help employers hold workers accountable when the rules are broken
- How to properly communicate a disciplinary action to an employee
- Communication mistakes that will turn the disciplined or terminated employee into a plaintiff
- How “due process” can serve as an effective roadmap for carrying out an organization’s disciplinary and termination policies
- The proper (and legal) way to notify employees that a complaint has been filed against them
- When an internal investigation can be an effective tool in determining possible employee misconduct
- How to reduce the legal and practical risks associated with internal investigations
- Legally sound steps for conducting an investigative interview in unionized and non-unionized work environments
- How to use the process of deliberation to ensure the penalty fits the misconduct or poor performance problem
- Hands-on techniques for creating the right kind of paper trail to document and support discipline decisions
