1. Fatal Errors Employers Make When Updating Employee Handbooks that Can Be a Legal Landmine! Learn What Policies are Mandated for 2022!

 

On-demand Webinar (90 Min)

Speaker- Margie Faulk 

 

Employers should know that the employee handbook is one of the documents that is reviewed by attorneys who are looking to sue them. Having an employee handbook is critical to a company and having it updated with all the necessary policies is crucial. Labor research has proven that Employers have a delay in implementing new regulations and adding it to Employee Handbooks or stand-alone policies.

 

New regulations go hand in hand with employee handbook and standalone policy updates. As a compliance officer, I am always providing support to Employers and professionals and see what the gaps are when protecting employees. Federal, State, and local regulations have an impact in maintaining workplace compliance and Employers need to be aware that when Federal, State and Local regulations clash the regulations with the most benefit for the employees supersedes.

 

That is why it is important to be aware and follow all workplace regulations. Now more than ever, Employers need to ensure employee handbooks are up to date, consistent, includes all new regulations and changes that involve the workplace.

On-demand Webinar (75 Min)

Speaker- Diane Dee

 

If an employer has exhausted all the necessary steps to help the employee improve his or her work performance – and those steps are not working – it may be time to terminate the employee.

Terminating an employee is not only stressful for the employee losing a job, but also for the employer.

3. Behavioral Interviewing: Hire the Right People, With the Right Skills, For the Right Position

 

On-demand Webinar (60 Min)

Speaker-Marcia Zidle

 

Does your interviewing process consist of proven practices or just a hodgepodge of activities that get into gear when someone says, “I need more people” or “Sally has left, and we need someone to take her place NOW?”

 

The effectiveness of your interviewing process impacts the effectiveness of the organization.  A new hire that does not fit the position will be difficult to develop, will perform poorly and more likely leave resulting in the need to repeat the process. Only when interviewing is approached as a specific methodology with definable steps and measurable results can it be managed to ensure the hiring of quality people.

 

Smart hiring is more than posting requisitions, screening, and talking with the candidates, checking references, making an offer, etc. It is a series of specific interviewing principles and techniques that can bring in top talent rather than lead to poor hires. The topics to be covered are:


·       Fine-tune Your Shopping List

·       Focus on Behavioral Interviewing

·       Develop Questions to Assess KSA’s

·       Use a Rating Scale & Guide

 

The focus of this webinar is to help companies maximize their hiring efforts as well as helps managers and recruiters enhance their interviewing effectiveness.

 

Session Highlight:


·       Develop a position profile – A multi-functional job description tool for recruitment and smart interviewing

·       Create behavioral interview questions that go beyond the resume to assess a candidate’s capabilities and experience

·       Produce an interviewing guide with key questions and tips to ensure hiring the right person for the position

·       Ask the right questions to get applicants to speak openly while avoiding inappropriate and illegal questions

·       Avoid the 5 top interviewing mistakes that hiring managers and recruiters make – even experienced ones

·       Develop selection criteria and rating system to ensure your organization will not hire round pegs to fit into square holes

·       Learn to avoid early judgments. First impressions can make an impression, but it can be the wrong impression
