Cognitive Witness Interviewing for Disciplinary & Grievance Investigations (Long Description)

May 21st, 2013, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET – Conducting witness interviews for disciplinary and grievance purposes requires skill and tact. Cognitive interviewing will enable HR practitioners and managers to retrieve more accurate evidence from witnesses even when a trigger event occurred some time ago. This technique is widely used by investigators within other contexts and this event will explore its applications to the specific context of employee investigations and in particular the interviewing of witnesses to events. Such witnesses will typically be employees of the organization. The webcast will define the goals of the cognitive interview, explain the purpose of the technique and break down the interview into its various structural elements.

Employee Handbooks (Long Description)

May 21st, 2013, 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM EDT – Laws keep changing, but most employers’ employee handbooks are rarely updated. Worse, many employers have employee handbooks that work against them and bind them to promises and obligations that can be enforced by current and former employees in a court of law. This presentation opens with a discussion of the benefits of employee handbooks and why every employer should have one. Essential handbook policies such as EEO policies, protected leave, drug and alcohol testing, and wage and hour policies will be covered.

Guns and the Workplace: Who Speaks for the Employer? (Long Description)

May 21st, 2013, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EDT – It’s hard to think of a more controversial, emotional and perhaps polarizing issue than the right in many states of an employee to lawfully carry a weapon for protection when traveling to and from work, and to safely store that weapon in his or her private vehicle while at work.

Employers must respect this right, while also recognizing their responsibility to provide a safe and healthy workplace for not only employees, but also customers, vendors and members of the public. In addition, there is a movement to expand the right of all qualified citizens to carry a concealed weapon in all public areas, including restaurants, commercial facilities, places of entertainment, and even religious institutions and college and university campuses.

There are vocal advocates on both sides of these issues, but who speaks for the Employer who may feel caught in the middle?

He represents public and private sector employers in all aspects of labor and employment law before state and federal administrative agencies and courts.

Protecting Your Company from the Departing Employee (Long Description)

May 22nd, 2013 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM 1:00 pm EDT – In an age where employees can abscond with a truckload of information on a simple thumb drive, what can employers do to protect their trade secrets and proprietary information? Recent surveys confirm that departing employees are walking out the door with company information almost as a matter of course. Employers have to take affirmative steps to stop this type of conduct.
