Credit: 1.5 HRCI, 1.5 SHRM

90 Minutes

To become a strategic partner to businesses, HR professionals need to speak the language of business. Inherent in that language is the lexicon of business measurements and metrics ─ including HR metrics. HR metrics help communicate the value added by the HR function, demonstrate the contribution of human capital, and measure employment related risks. This webinar discusses the use of HR metrics as a core competency. Upon completion of the course, you’ll be able to:

• Gain an understanding of key HR metrics
• Identify and assess the strategic and operational impact of HR metrics
• Describe the role of metrics in measuring and communicating value
• Review the basics of using HR metrics in assessing human capital related risks
• Explain how HR metrics improve strategic and operational decision making

Credit: 1.25 HRCI, 1.25 SHRM

75 Minutes

Despite some expectations to the contrary, the EEOC has been more active than ever as discrimination charges, particularly sexual harassment charges, are on the rise.  Even as the Department of Labor has sought to relax some regulation, it is still aggressively pursuing double back pay in most wage and hour settlements.  Further, immigration officials have sharply increased company audits.  Finally, in response to what some state and local governments view as a more “business-friendly” administration, these state and local governments are often tightening restrictions on wage and hour and paid leave compliance for workers.  This webinar outlines the latest documentation strategies to help minimize your legal exposure while implementing best practices for properly documenting employment issues so that they don’t escalate to litigation. The presentation will cover topics such as:

• When to use written versus oral reprimands
• Different types of ways to document employee issues based on level of severity
• How to document internal investigations
• How to protect the attorney-client privilege in internal human resources documentation
• How to strategically use handbooks and other personnel policies
• Tips for verbal counseling and how that counseling should be documented

Webinar 3: Employee Handbook Mistakes

Credit: 1.25 HRCI, 1.25 SHRM

75 Minutes

If you are like many employers, your employee handbook collects dust on a shelf. While you might give a handbook to a new employee as a formality, or use it to address an employment question, you probably haven’t updated your employee handbook in years. Unfortunately, labor and employment law is always in flux, and if your handbook has not been updated in the past year, it is almost certainly out of legal compliance. In this webinar, you will learn about:

• The core policies that should be in every company’s employee handbook
• The most common employee handbook mistakes – and how to avoid them
• How you can prevent your handbook from becoming a contract
• Which handbook policies will get you in trouble with the NLRB or other government agencies
