Description
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” – Benjamin Franklin, 1736
Through the lens of today's quickly evolving legal landscape, this recorded session, led by nonprofit attorneys Dana Fruzynski and DJ Stoeberl of Cheshire Law Group, covers shortcuts gone wrong and common misunderstandings and missteps that cause legal headaches when handling employment matters. Plus, Dana and DJ touch on DEI considerations and help you make sense of how to further your organization's DEI goals while staying legally compliant.
We also look at best practices for establishing healthier processes and procedures – so that when you need to terminate an employee (never an easy task), your organization will be on much better legal footing, and you will find the process much less painful. In addition, we will share strategies to empower your team members to perform at their optimal level!
Your team members are among your most valuable resources. But when an employment relationship sours, employees who are not meeting expectations can cause tension, drama, and stress for you and your other employees. If not managed well, situations can quickly escalate, damage morale, and become expensive and time-consuming legal headaches. These matters take focus and resources away from mission-related work and many of these situations can be avoided by investing in your organization’s processes and in its documentation. Also, many compliance issues come to light when terminations are needed – and that’s not the optimal time to discover how your organization comes up short on legal compliance.
Tune in to this recording for tips for improving your systems now, including:
- Common approaches & choices that come back to bite (we’re only human right?!)
- Can we still have diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals - and, if so, how do we go about implementing these goals?
- How to tighten up documentation and communications to minimize risk
- Employee handbooks (potential pitfalls)
- Termination Do’s and Don’ts
- Tips for handling Unemployment Compensation claims & other employment law claims
