EEOC and OFCCP Compliance
Compliance began with the 4/5ths rule and has evolved into requiring employers to produce applicant logs in a specific written format placing a significant burden on employers that do not have adequate processes in place to ensure compliance.
Disparate Pay
In August, 2008, the Government Accounting Office issued a report assailing the EEOC and OFCCP for not adequately monitoring and enforcing compliance relative to equal pay. On January 9, 2009, the U.S. House of representatives passed the Paycheck Fairness Act and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, two pieces of legislation that are intended to dramatically increase the penalties imposed for employers found to have compensation practices that have a disparate impact on women and minorities.
The landscape has changed with regard to compensation inequality and employers must assess their disparate pay exposure and take immediate action to mitigate it. This webinar is a must for all decision makers in HR as well as other management positions involved in pay and promotional decisions.
Family Medical Leave Act
The FMLA, originally enacted in 1993, was revised on November 14, 2008, and the new regulations took effect on January 16, 2009. With the implementation of these new regulations, employers must immediately take note of the changes required. This Webinar will update employers on the FMLA and actions they should be taking now to comply with the new provisions.
Human Rights in the Workplace
Most employers are familiar with the basic requirements of Equal Opportunity laws which aim to create a "level playing field" so that people are employed, paid, trained, promoted and receive benefits and opportunities solely on the basis of their skills, abilities and how they do their jobs. But navigating the laws and concepts encompassing Human Rights in the Workplace is a tremendous challenge. This webinar will provide you with the basic knowledge necessary to understand how Human Rights in the Workplace impacts your organization.
Performance Reviews
Performance reviews are essential in not only keeping the "good" employees you have as well as being a viable tool to develop and increase performance. However, continuing to manually conduct performance reviews and trying to keep up with getting them donealong with records retention can be a time consuming nightmare.

Interviewing: the Behavioral Approach
This webinar focuses on helping make personnel tasked with interviewing job candidates more effective interviewers by acquainting them with information and tools that will result in a better understanding of a candidate's ability to successfully perform a job.

Violence in the Workplace
This webinar answers the many questions about violence in the workplace. What is Workplace Violence and how does it affect me or my employees? Workplace violence varies in degrees but all workplace violence should be taken seriously.
Job Tax Credits
The HIRE Act was signed into law March 18th 2010. It aims to catalyze job growth by providing employers a payroll tax forgiveness and a long-term retention credit. Also, the WOTC continues to provide tax credits for businesses hiring qualified individuals. In both programs, benefits are not automatic; direct intervention is required to receive tax credits. In this webinar, businesses will learn about their entitlements, how to identify qualified employees, possible disqualifications, and other important information required to net a business the greatest possible return on their investment.
Health Care Reform
The goal of the health care legislation is to allow for all Americans to obtain health care coverage by taking away the insurance companies ability to "discriminate" due to existing pre-conditions and essentially making it a requirement to have health insurance.
The EEOC and Kroger
A hearing and speech-impaired applicant recently filed a charge against Kroger for denying employment due in part to the pre-employment questionnaire (deemed a test) meant to gauge a candidate's suitability to a customer service position. The situation calls for a clear understanding of the American Disabilities Act and its amendment.

This webinar is for owners, managers, and supervisors who make decisions on hiring, firing, and training and developing people and the HR people who facilitate the process.
The HR Manager as the Peacemaker
Conflict is an inevitable part of working relationships and HR Managers are often called upon to be impartial mediators when conflict arises among co-workers. However, with a proper response conflict can lead to a diversity of solutions that are often more effective than when only one solution is explored. It allows managers and employees to better understand personality styles, differences of opinion and how to best work together yielding more productive relationships. Conversely, if left unresolved, conflict can compromise relationships and undermine the organization's effectiveness.
