Course Description

​

Knowing what to do in increasingly complicated employee situations can be difficult for even seasoned professionals. These days a HR Generalist needs to be able to apply what they know not just recite regulations. Because just as critical as knowing what are employer obligations, is for HR to know what to do, when and how. CA presents to employers even more intricacies regarding employer obligations and regulation interactions.

​

Many HR related problems require investigation techniques to mitigate employer risk while also meeting an employer’s obligations to its employees. HR must know how to work in tandem with management to apply best practice problem solving and investigative techniques to guide management, solve problems, mitigate compliance risk and support employees while accomplishing business goals.

​

Yet HR is not just about risk mitigation. Its just as much about making sure its actions address the people concerns as well.Unhappy employees don’t just cause compliance risk. The “cost” of disgruntled employees, and the bruised relationships and unresolved problems that cause resentments that endure and grow for 10, even 20 years can incur greater “costs”. It will then cause not only a single employee to work at less than their best, but employees that keep their coworkers from being their best; slow down employee development, impede department success, are a problem to management and at their worse, even cause sabotage resultant from grudges that started as small problems.

​

Any company that has employees is guaranteed that one day there will be problem(s) and not knowing what to do can be expensive. Training HR Generalists in the basics of HR compliance AND how to apply those obligations AND advise management can help to defend against a whole host of unwarranted employment claims, including those that often arise merely from miscommunication, misinformation and mismanagement.

​

1. Day One includes overviews of Federal and CA State regs and strategies for minimizing regulatory risks.

2. Day Two concentrates on documentary best practices and investigatory processes.

Every module on both days includes a practical application exercise so you can practice what you have learned in the classroom –where mistakes don’t have big consequences.
