Employment Law Trainings
Illinois State and many other jurisdictions require yearly sexual harassment prevention trainings. Research has shown that most training programs are ineffective at changing employee behavior. Indeed, the limited research in the area has shown that computer-based trainings may actually worsen an organization’s culture, rather than improve it.*
Our training program is different. It has been designed not only with legal principles in mind, but with what empirical research has shown works to effect change. Our training explains employment law concepts in a cooperative, easy to understand and highly interactive format. We engage managers and employees with compelling stories from real cases and events.
We teach practical tools that can be applied at every step of the employee/employer relationship — from the interview stage all the way to employee terminations — to improve your organization’s culture, fosters healthy working relationships and mitigate risk.
