HR Hero Audio Conference on CD
Keep 'It's Not Fair!' from Becoming 'It's Discrimination!'
Presented by John B. Phillips, Jr.
August 10, 2006

Think your team knows all about discrimination? That they'll never do or say anything that will get the company into hot water? Are you feeling lucky?

Fact is, because the cost of discrimination is so high, both in dollars and lost productivity, you have to drill supervisors on its legalities regularly.

And just as the demographics of our country are changing, so is the nature of discrimination complaints and lawsuits, all of which your supervisors will learn about when you register them for "Keep 'It's Not Fair!' from Becoming 'It's Discrimination!'"

This fast-paced 60 minute audio conference uses real-world scenarios and actual cases to drive the message home:

• A supervisor's comment that an employee was just like "George Foreman, who didn't know when to quit" sparked an age discrimination claim. Why?
• A supervisor referred to two employees, one in his late 50s and the other in his early 60s, as "old farts." Guess what happened when they got fired?
• A white employee claimed race discrimination. Why are these cases becoming more common?

And that's not all. There's been an explosion of race discrimination charges brought by Hispanics against African-Americans. And vice-versa. What's a supervisor to do to avoid these types of situations?

In just an hour, your team learns:

• The primary protected classes that serve as the basis for discrimination claims
• How to avoid the possibility of race discrimination between light-colored and darker-colored African-Americans, and other emerging discrimination claims.
• Whether sex discrimination laws cover gays and lesbians.
• How to adjust hiring processes to avoid even the appearance of discriminating unlawfully, without giving up on hiring any whites, men, or young people.
• What language and word choice says about your supervisors, and by extension, your company. And it's not just their culturally or racially charged language, it's what they allow to be said, that can get you into trouble.
• The double-danger of retaliation, often a supervisor's first reaction when informed of a supordinate's discrimination claim. In fact, an employee will be unable to prove discrimination, but able to prove retaliation.
• Why mistreatment, playing favorites, inconsistent treatment of employees, arrogance and poor behavior by supervisors can lay the groundwork for discrimination claims. We'll show them how to steer clear.

Because Keep 'It's Not Fair!' from Becoming 'It's Discrimination!' is an audio seminar on CD you enjoy:

• Fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time lost.
• No travel-related expenses or complications.
• The perfect way to train as many employees as you like.
