The Compliance Rapid Learning Series for Managers & Supervisors

Too many employee lawsuits are filed because managers and supervisors mishandle tricky legal situations. Why does this happen? Two reasons: Either, they were never trained, or, more likely, the training they received didn't stick. It's no surprise, studies show that 80% of training is forgotten in 30 days unless the information is revisited.

That's exactly why we created The Compliance Rapid Learning Series for Managers & Supervisors. The rapid learning format makes delivering essential compliance training fast and easy. And, because each module is short and to-the-point, you can revisit each lesson again and again without crushing anyone's schedule.

These high-impact, 8- to 11-minute e-learning modules are perfect meeting starters that can be used to kickoff discussions about your organization's most pressing compliance issues. This collection covers: Terminations, Employee Complaints, FMLA Certification, Sexual Harassment, Progressive Discipline, and Discrimination.

A unique format designed specifically for adult learners:

Tons of 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 The Compliance Rapid Learning Series is made up of six short modules (each right around 10 minutes) that focus on a single aspect of employment law compliance. They’re short but meaty. They’re simple but never simplistic. They’re designed to deliver a potent dose of learning – and then quickly get people back to work.

This collection of six fast-paced e-learning modules:

Gives your managers and supervisors a solid foundation for avoiding the employment law compliance mistakes that get organizations sued.
Delivers training in short, highly focused chunks ... the way adult learners absorb information best. Each module is just 8-11 minutes long.
Includes handouts, leader guides, quizzes and more – the meeting prep work is already done for you.

The Compliance Rapid Learning Series includes six modules:

How to Terminate Poor Performers – Without Provoking a Lawsuit (9:44)
Employee Complaints: What Every Manager Must Know (11:37)
FMLA Certification: What Every Manager Must Know (8:41)
Sexual Harassment for Supervisors: Not-So-Obvious Cases That Can Trip You Up (8:51)
Progressive Discipline: The 'Career Advocate' Method for Salvaging Endangered Employees (8:21)
The 'Self-Check Technique' for Revealing Unconscious Bias (9:00)

Here’s a summary of what you’ll get in the six rapid e-learning modules:

How to Terminate Poor Performers – Without Provoking a Lawsuit (9:44)
On the surface, terminating an employee for poor performance seems like a no-brainer. It’s nothing personal. The worker just isn’t getting it done and would be better off in another job. But even when a termination is 100% justifiable, managers must be extremely careful how they conduct themselves. Terminations, no matter how clear cut, are legal minefields. In this Quick Take you’ll learn the #1 managerial oversight that gives terminated employees traction in a lawsuit, the most common mistake supervisors make during the actual termination conversation, the main reason terminated employees sue and a blueprint for terminating employees in a way vastly reducing the likelihood you’ll get sued.

Employee Complaints: What Every Manager Must Know (11:37)
Managers and supervisors play a critical role in handling employee complaints and preventing legal action. Why? Because very often they’re the first point of contact when a complaint is filed. This Quick Take will show them how to play that role correctly. Viewers will learn: A three-step model for conducting interviews with employees who come to them with complaints and three common mistakes managers make when handling complaints.

FMLA Certification: What Every Manager Must Know (8:41)
Most workers play by the rules when it comes to FMLA. But there are some who take unfair advantage of FMLA and sooner or later you’ll have to deal with them. In this Quick Take, viewers will learn the #1 mistake that will get you sued over employee abuse of FMLA intermittent leave, the three rules you must know to legally deal with intermittent leave abuse, and how to handle employees who try to game the system.

Sexual Harassment for Supervisors: Not-So-Obvious Cases That Can Trip You Up (8:51)
Most supervisors can recognize cases of blatant sexual harassment – where, for instance, an employee makes a crude or threatening advance. Or where an employee touches another in a way that’s clearly out of bounds. But what about those less obvious cases. In this Quick Take you will learn the difference between “quid pro quo” and “hostile environment” sexual harassment. Why sexual harassment doesn’t need to target a specific person. How “victimless” sexual banter can trigger lawsuits. Why actions that are completely non-sexual in nature can be construed as sexual harassment and the “reasonable person” standard for determining what is, and isn’t, sexual harassment.

Progressive Discipline: The 'Career Advocate' Method for Salvaging Endangered Employees (8:21)
Managers often see the stages of progressive discipline as the opening acts leading up to firing an employee. They focus on creating a paper trail to protect against potential lawsuits. But too many managers overlook the positive role progressive discipline can play, and they miss out on opportunities to change behavior and salvage employees who are worth trying to keep. That’s the main subject of this Quick Take, which will explore what managers can do to maximize the likelihood that “endangered” employees will turn themselves around.

The ‘Self-Check Technique’ for Revealing Unconscious Bias (9:00)
Did you know discrimination lawsuits have risen 268% over the past 15 years? That’s 9 times faster than any other type of employee lawsuit. In this presentation, we provide a roadmap to the Self-Check Technique for unconscious bias. You will learn why unconscious bias is the leading cause of discrimination lawsuits and what you can do to prevent them.

Each module is:

Short – right around 10 minutes – so even your most impatient managers will watch them
Engaging and fluff-free.
Focused. They deliver a single “aha” that will change behavior. It could be something your people have never heard. But it could also be something they know but don’t always practice.

- Handouts for following along and taking notes
- A Meeting Leader's Discussion Guide to help you direct meaningful follow up conversation and reinforce the message
