Workplace Harassment - What It is and What to Do About It
In 2012 alone, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ordered that $365,400,000 (that’s 365.4 million dollars!) be paid out for discrimination and harassment charges.

Conducting Effective Performance Reviews
Performance reviews are an essential component of employee development. The performance review meeting is an important aspect of career planning, and the outcomes of the meeting should be known to the employee and supervisor before the meeting actually takes place. Remember what the German philosopher Goethe said: “Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of being.” Setting goals and objectives to aim for will give both supervisors and employees a focus, and is one of the key aspects to meeting overall company objectives. Supervisors must also learn how to give feedback, both positive and negative, on a regular and timely basis so that employees can grow and develop. Performance appraisals involve all these activities.

This course will teach you the basics about creating and maintaining a succession plan.

Developing Your Training Program
Training is an essential element of development in any organization. Beingknowledgeable and continuing to learn throughout your career can make you a veryvaluable asset. We also know that training and orientation (or ‘onboarding’) for newlyhired employees is a key factor in retention.In order for training to be valuable, the person that designs and plans the training musthave an excellent understanding of what the training objectives are. In addition, if thetrainer is able to research the strategic objectives of the company providing the trainingto their staff, what resources are available, and what elements of those plans canenhance the training experience, the entire experience is much more meaningful. At thesame time, if a trainer is aware of any barriers that training could present (such astrainees being on call during a session, having to spread training over a long period oftime, or trainees who are not accustomed to theory or classroom types ofpresentations), then the trainer can present a much stronger program that is tailoredspecifically to the participants’ needs.This two-day workshop is designed for a trainer who wants to develop training programsthat are meaningful, practical, and will benefit both trainees and the organizations theywork for.

Planning for Workplace Safety
Beginning with the Organizational Safety Policy, the company’s Safety Plan shows that Senior Management takes the commitment to worker health and safety seriously. The safety plan provides a system of policies, procedures and practices to help prevent accidents/incidents, gives workers the knowledge to help them create a safe working environment and outlines a consistent methodology for the company’s approach to Health and Safety. It is one of the more important safety documents that a company can produce. This workshop will give you the foundation to develop your Organizational Safety Plan and take the next step in building your safety culture.

Bullying in the Workplace
Bullying is called the silent epidemic. Although half of workers have experienced or witnessed bullying, policies and laws dealing with it are far less prevalent. This is, in part, because bullying can be hard to identify and address. People wonder, what does bullying look like? How can we discourage it in our workplace? What can I do to protect my staff and co-workers? All of these questions (and more!) will be answered in this one-day workshop.

Business
Orientation Handbook - Getting Employees Off to a Good Start
An effective human resource professional knows that managing employee performance is more than responding to problems, conducting performance reviews, or hiring staff. Performance management begins with an orientation to the organization and the job, and continues on a daily basis as employees are trained and coached. A thoughtful new employee orientation program, coupled with an employee handbook (or website) that communicates workplace policies, can reduce turnover and those reductions save your organization money. Whether your company has two employees or a thousand employees, don’t leave employee retention to chance. Engage them from the moment they are hired; give them what they need to feel welcome, and let them impress you with what they bring to your company.
