While we are aggressive advocates for your organization during an investigation, audit or a court battle, we think the best approach to legal troubles is to work proactively to prevent them. We firmly believe that employment lawsuits, government investigations, and union organizing activity can all be best avoided and addressed if our clients have well-trained and educated supervisors and managers.
In certain circumstances, courts will allow employers to raise as an affirmative defense the fact that they attempted to prevent unlawful conduct by training their employees. Accordingly, effective training can both help employers prevent employment-related claims from occurring in the first place, and can act as a defense in the event litigation does occur.
We pride ourselves on providing thoughtful, practical and engaging training sessions. We offer training programs (on site or via webinar) on numerous labor and employment law and human resources topics. But what you won’t find is a “cookie-cutter” program – we customize each training to suit our clients’ specific policies, practices and needs.
We offer general and specialized training programs for your entire workforce, as well as training developed specifically for managers and supervisors - to ensure that they understand your policies and procedures, the need for compliance, and their role in ensuring compliance.
Training topics include, but are not limited to:
- Preventing Workplace Harassment and Discrimination
- Investigating Workplace Harassment and Discrimination Complaints
- Workplace Bullying
- Diversity
- Wage and Hour Compliance
- Conducting Workplace Investigations
- Business Ethics/Corporate Compliance
- Recordkeeping
- Reductions in Force
- WARN
- Employment Law Basics, i.e., “Employment Law 101”
- Compliance with Family, Medical, and Disability-Related Laws
- Social Media and Privacy Issues in the Workplace
We offer a variety of pricing options, including flat rates, depending on the location, type and duration of the training that you want. If you are interested in having our attorneys or specialists conduct training at your company, feel free to contact the Constangy attorney or specialist of your choice or email constangyfyi@constangy.com.
