Most employers care greatly for providing a safe place to work for their employees and want to provide safe working conditions, which includes providing appropriate worker’s compensation benefits in the case of an occupational injury or illness. In the event of an accident in the workplace, employers are required to perform a thorough, objective, professional investigation. When any workplace accident occurs, some degree of confusion follows. In the event of an accident with injury, if the accident investigation does not support the details of the injury, it may also be necessary to review the validity of any related worker’s compensation claim(s). Such a review can uncover previously undetermined details regarding the reason for the accident. Such circumstances warrant a review from those who run responsible companies. Good accident investigation procedures can heighten safety awareness on a daily basis and cause safety to be at the front of everyone’s mind every day. Such best practices include good processes for reviewing worker’s compensation claims. The presence of effective safety investigation protocols lessens the probability of an accident occurring as unsafe conditions can be discovered before an accident can occur. The presence of solid worker’s compensation investigation protocols lessens the likelihood of dubious worker’s compensation claims occurring. Agenda The interplay between OHSA and Workers Compensation How safety, accident and WC investigations differ from other types of HR related investigations Understanding how the psychology of emergencies affects effective evidence collection and accident investigations Policies, procedures and protocols to have in place today to avoid WC claim problems later Indicators of professional investigations Signs that a WC claim may be questionable or exaggerated How to handle dubious WC claims What to do when employees offer conflicting information regarding another employee’s WC claim.

This program contains potential life-saving information. You learn skills and tactics to recognize, respond and mitigate harm when confronting a gunman engaged in a shooting rampage. You’ll learn about history and current trends of workplace shootings. We’ll look at various shooting events and discuss what happened and the lessons learned. Pre-incident indications of potential shootings and how to recognize that a shooting is underway will be discussed. It takes from 30 seconds to a minute for most people to recognize the sounds of a shooting event. Knowing how to quickly recognize the acoustic indications of firearm discharges can provide valuable time to protect yourself or other people. Making good decisions when facing life-threatening situations is critical, yet difficult. This webinar will explore the decision-making strategies used by military and law enforcement professionals when under fire. Run! Hide! Fight! will be known by many. You learn various methods for doing them in the most effective manner. When the police arrive you may still be in danger. We’ll look at what the police will and won’t be doing and how they want you to behave. First aid for shooting victims (yourself and others) will be covered. Why You Should Attend: You may know that workplace shooting events are extremely quick, generally within two to five minutes. But did you know that on an average, it takes the police 18 minutes to respond? Being prepared with a pre-planned active shooter response could be the difference between surviving and not surviving. If you boarded an airliner and the flight attendant announced, “We’re going to skip the safety briefing on this flight because airline fatalities are so rare”, would you stay on the plane? So why would you go to work everyday without knowing what to do if you find yourself confronting the nightmare of an armed assailant intent on killing you and your co-workers? You may feel you’re not in danger and don’t need this training. But feelings are not a good predictor of these types of events. By the time you feel you’re in danger, it will be too late. And even if the odds are small, because the impact can be catastrophic, it’s only common sense to take at least basic steps to be ready. Areas Covered in the Session : Scope & Impact of Workplace Shootings Pre-Incident Warning Signs of Shooting Events Case studies of workplace shootings Using an “Active Shooter” Decision Tree What to do when law enforcement responds Who Should Attend: HR Departments Directors and VPs Facilities management Office managers Business owners
You may have heard that most employment is at-will, but what does that mean? If you employ your workers “at-will”, does that mean you can fire them whenever you want? Does invoking the employment-at-will doctrine protect you from wrongful termination lawsuit? Why You Should Attend: Many employers make the mistake of assuming that because they hired an employee “at-will”, terminating that employee will be a done deal—and they often end up defending a wrongful termination claim. Other employers may hold onto employees who are not performing well or who may even undermine company goals and safety, because they think that terminating them will automatically result in a multi-million dollar lawsuit. Neither of those assumptions is necessarily true! So what can an employer do? This webinar will help you gain some insight into how to navigate your relationship with your employees, keeping employment-at-will and its exceptions in mind. Learning Objectives: Attend the webinar to know: The extent and limits of Employment-at-Will. We will also explore the statutory exceptions and contractual provisions that seem to undermine at-will employment to give you clarity and guidance on an often misunderstood principle of employment law. The rights and obligations of employers and employees. Areas Covered in the Session : Defining Employment-at-Will Identifying situations falling outside of at-will employment Identifying exceptions to Employment-at-Will Anti-discrimination laws and Employment-at-Will Rights and obligations of employers and employees Employment agreements, disclaimers, written employment agreements Employee handbooks The NLRB and disclaimers Scope of Employment-at-Will Case examples Who Should Attend: CEOs Senior Managers Business Owners Hiring Managers All HR Professionals Recruiters VPs CFOs Comptrollers Compensation Specialists Compliance Officers
Generational differences have long been an important aspect of workplace diversity, and this is even more true now than even in the recent past. With the majority of the modern workforce consisting of members of four distinct generations – many of whom work in companies with outdated policies and ways of doing business established by previous generations – effective cross-generational workplace communication is an important key to success. Perfecting the art cross-generational communication in the workplace has to start with knowledge of what key generational differences are and why, and insight into how each generation – and the individuals within it – add value. This requires getting to know key differences among generations, including their formative influences, characteristics and workplace behaviors, as well as how to manage outside your own generation. Why Should you Attend: When people from different generations work side-by-side in the workplace, as they do every day, this poses unique workplace challenges, but it also sets the stage for tremendous opportunity as well. While the different generations don’t always see ‘eye-to-eye,’ bridging the generational divide can lead to greater innovation, productivity, effectiveness and – ultimately – competitive advantage. That’s the power that can come from leveraging the power and benefits of generational diversity. Participants will learn how and why the primary generations present in the 2019-20 workplace differ in terms of how they approach work, focused on understanding the value and contributions of each generation. Areas Covered in the Session : Overview of the 4 primary generations participating in the workplace in 2019-20 (millennials, generation X, generation Y, Baby Boomers) Impact of previous generation (traditionalists) on the current state of the workplace Understanding/clarifying what makes each generation unique, in terms formative influences, characteristics and workplace behaviors Tips for managing & working with individuals in other generations, both older and younger Practical tips for applying knowledge of generational differences to build a better workplace in 2019-20 Who Should Attend: HR Professionals (VPs, Directors, Managers, Specialists, Generalists, Business Partners, etc.) Employee relations professionals Talent management professionals Organizational development & organizational excellence professionals Managers Supervisors Executives Business owners

It’s mandatory to keep sound document-retention policy these days! As an HR professional, you know that the sheer volume of paperwork that you contend with is overwhelming at best and uncontrollable at worst.

Employers work hard to set up reward systems to hire, engage, reward and retain the best and brightest employees. However, such systems often have the effect of doing just the opposite. Performance management systems installed to support the rewards system don’t link to the rewards system and or even if in theory they do, are not communicated to the employees as such and so rewards become misaligned. Many employers find to their horror that through mismanaging of rewards they have wound up rewarding mediocrity, and even retaining “occupants.” Even worse is such reward going to low performing employees instead of the intended high performing employees. Exacerbating the problem is that such a system demotivates higher performing employees. Lastly, upon trying to change the system, leaders and even high performing employees become viewed as threats to long-term mediocre employees who will go to great lengths to derail any changes and sadly are often successful. Why You Should Attend: Are you as an employer rewarding mediocrity? Do you get pushback from low performers when you try to reward high performance? Is “goal” a four-letter word in your organization? Are you rewarding what someone should already be bringing to his or her job? Are you spending too much time dealing with the wrong things than paying attention to the right things? Because what you notice, praise, reward and pay attention to happens. Teamwork is good but good teamwork looks much different from a few propping up the many. Are you pulling down your high performers by making your eagles attempt to soar dragging turkeys? This webinar covers the processes, pitfalls and perils to linking rewards, goals, people, and leaders together with reward and performance systems without causing organizational havoc. Areas Covered in the Session : Rewards – Their role in employment The Dirty Dozen of linking rewards and pay to performance- you have to do them The Foundation of Disaster – How five things cause 90% of your people problems Managing non-compensable rewards Rewarding mediocrity – 12 things NOT to do Six crucial attributes for managers that used to be “nice to have” but are now “critical to have” When is training merely akin to putting lipstick on a pig and when it is a good solution The Occupancy Manager – Keeping them from spreading dysfunction Four crucial management tools – How and when to use each one Using goal based compensation to reward performance – not mediocrity OR occupancy Won’t we be sued? – How to use rewards as what they are, rewards, without causing compliance problems.
