FMLA Essentials: Respecting Worker Rights and Protecting Your Organization The Family and Medical Leave Act is designed to give employees the time they need to deal with serious health and family issues. FMLA leave is a legal right, and companies should go out of their way to support employees who require it. Unfortunately, front line managers and supervisors don't always have the information they need to deal with FMLA situations correctly. To them, FMLA leave requests create staffing and production challenges that make their jobs more difficult. As a result, they may unknowingly say or do something that violates the rules -- and that puts your organization at risk. That's why we created FMLA Essentials: Respecting Worker Rights and Protecting Your Organization. This powerful set of three videos gives your managers a solid foundation of what they need to know to navigate FMLA situations in a fair and legal way.

The program includes three concise learning modules:

1. FMLA Certification: What Every Manager Needs To Know (8:41)
2. Intermittent FMLA Leave: Techniques to Manage and Control It (8:41)
3. Military FMLA Leave: Twists and Turns That Challenge HR (9:26)

A unique format designed specifically for adult learners:

Research clearly shows that adult learners tune out when subjected to long, content-heavy training events. Adults just can’t sit for extended periods absorbing training material – especially when they already have a long list of other responsibilities to worry about. What do they want? Chunks. The research says they’ll engage in training and remember it if it's delivered in short segments that focus on ONE thing, not three, or four, or five.

That's why FMLA Essentials: Respecting Worker Rights and Protecting Your Organization is made up of three short modules (each right around 10 minutes) that focus on a single aspect of handling FMLA situations. Each is concise and delivers a highly-potent dose of learning.

Here's a summary of what you'll get in the three modules:
