Introducing – The Supervisor’s Employment Law IQ Challenge ...
101 Real-World Cases to Increase Supervisor Awareness of Common Legal Pitfalls
In today’s hyper-litigious workplace, it’s essential that supervisors understand employment law issues. You don’t need them to become lawyers, but you do need them to think and act in a way that respects employee rights and minimizes your organization’s legal risk.
That’s why we published The Supervisor’s Employment Law IQ Challenge: 101 Real-World Cases to Increase Supervisor Awareness of Common Legal Pitfalls.
This interactive guide covers 101 real workplace employment law cases ... each presented on two fast-read pages. The first page covers the facts in a “dramatized scenario” and asks, “How did the court rule in the case?”
The next page gives you the “decision.” It discusses how the case was resolved and – more important – what lesson should be learned from the story.
How to use this interactive training tool:
-
A great meeting starter. Kick off meetings by copying and handing out “The facts” page of a case that fits a challenge you’re now facing. Discuss the scenario with your team, solicit opinions about what your supervisors think happened. Then discuss the actual outcome and critical lesson to be learned.
-
Practical insights for those dealing with a specific problem. If a supervisor is struggling with a certain HR issue, say FMLA, give him or her the entire section of cases to study. There’s no better way to drive home a message than to learn from other people’s actual mistakes.
- Personal professional development – that’s actually enjoyable. Even if you’re a seasoned HR professional, you’re sure to find some valuable insights in the Supervisor’s Employment Law IQ Challenge. What’s more, it’s a fun read.
