TOPICS & OBJECTIVES

Best Practices for Hiring and Pre-Employment

When it comes to bringing new employees on board, your credit union must make sure to "dot the i's and cross the t's." Learn about best practices and policies for employment applications, interviewing, background checks, drug testing, handbooks, arbitration agreements, and other new hire procedures and documents.

Recent Developments

For employers attempting to comply with changing employment laws and judicial interpretations of the law, it seems like every day is a new semester. Learn about recent federal and state law developments, including Title VII and other employment discrimination laws, the Family and Medical Leave Act, OSHA safety regulations, USERRA, and employee privacy. We will also consider the impact of the 2008 national elections on a range of proposals for expanding employee rights.

Next Generation Harassment and Harassment Investigations

Federal law requires employers to maintain a workplace free from harassment. But your responsibility doesn’t end there -- you must also take proactive measures after a complaint of harassment is received. Although claims in the past have generally focused on sexual harassment, claims in other protected categories are growing. Learn about the new wave of harassment claims, including race and age harassment. You’ll gain useful strategies for responding to and investigating any type of harassment claim.

Addressing an Aging Work Force

As more baby boomers approach retirement age, employers are facing new challenges. You’ll get practical advice on how to navigate through senior years, including measuring productivity, training managers to supervise an older worker, and gently paving the way for termination or retirement if an employee’s performance is not making the grade.

The Ten Most Common Employer Mistakes

Learn about the 10 most common employer mistakes that lead to litigation, along with effective strategies and tactics for avoiding those mistakes. You’ll have the opportunity to share your experiences and discuss ways to minimize the risks.

Managing Employee Attendance

Are your supervisors becoming truancy officers? Learn about the best ways to manage excused and unexcused absences under the Family and Medical Leave Act, Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Get practical ideas on how to handle employees who abuse their leave, an employer’s obligations to provide leave, and ways to get employees back to work.

Happy Employees Don't Sue Their Employers

What have you done for your employees lately? What are their gripes, issues, and problems? Are you developing leaders or managers? Gain practical ideas for developing positive employee relations, building managers into leaders, and making sure your employees are your greatest asset, not your greatest liability.
