Sep 16    Supervisor Training Seminar
An effective supervisory training program is a cornerstone element in the administration of your organization?s policies and procedures. When you run a business, it isn?t enough just to have policies in place for ADA, EEOC, harassment, FMLA, and more.

Without proper supervisor training, your company may expose itself to potential risk, lawsuits and government penalties. This seminar will focus on making sure that your company has met the requirements of government regulations through the effective training of those who are responsible for communicating and implementing policy. What you will learn: The importance of training your supervisory team -How to prepare your supervisory team to notice red flags -Why your supervisors are one of the most important aspects of your risk management team -The key components of an effective manager training program -Why companies with policies in place still get sued-and how to avoid it -How your supervisors can be your first line of defense This workshop is recommended for all managers, supervisors and other key personnel.
