Dallas, Texas, Employment Law Attorney for Employers
Personnel Management and Employment Law Training
At the Key Firm, we believe that when employers provide a workplace environment where employees have predictable and defined expectations, recognition and reward for accomplishment, and trustworthy and knowledgeable supervision, those employees are substantially less likely to seek out third party intervention from lawyers, labor unions or governmental agencies. Our employment law attorneys work directly with managers and human resources personnel to provide comprehensive training on all aspects of personnel management and employment law in order to provide your management team with the tools they need to effectively and lawfully manage your workforce.
An Ounce of Training is Worth a Ton of Litigation
Our employment law attorneys can provide you with training on virtually any topic relevant to employment law or effective personnel management. We can provide anything from low-cost, off-the-shelf topical presentations on popular topics or more focused training tailored specifically to your organizational needs and environment.
We now offer several of our more popular training programs in an online, interactive format. Click here to learn more.
Live Training
If you prefer live training, one of our employment law attorneys can travel to your location for half-day or full-day training. Here are some of our more popular topics:
- Summary of Human Resources Law: This is a concise yet comprehensive program designed to provide your supervisors and HR personnel with basic familiarity with the framework of laws governing their conduct. This program is not designed to arm your supervisors with the ability to handle every problem; but to provide them with the ability to know when they have a problem. If your managers have never participated in employment law training, this program is a must.
- Harassment: This program is designed to provide your supervisors with the tools necessary to identify and respond to all forms of unlawful harassment, including sexual harassment. Under current federal law, harassment training is not only helpful, it is required. This is our most popular program.
- Top Ten Mistakes Supervisors Make: Our attorneys have spent their entire careers putting out fires often started by supervisors. This program reflects the "best of what we've learned as firemen." It is highly entertaining and remarkably educational. Attendees frequently review this program as "the best management training program ever."
- Top Ten Mistakes Small Employers Make: This is a modified version of the "Mistakes Supervisors Make," but geared toward an audience of small to medium size business owners. Rather than blandly summarizing the law, this program covers a broad range of important legal and management topics using powerful, provocative and sometimes humorous, real world scenarios to help business owners identify and solve the most popular personnel management problems. Stephen Key has presented this program to dozens of trade association conventions and human resources professionals, and the program is frequently rated as the "best of the conference" by attendees.
- Staying Union Free: During a union organizing drive, your supervisors will play a critical role in leading and educating your workforce. Are they prepared? Do you know if you are vulnerable to union organizing? Can you spot the warning signs? Do your supervisors know how to engage your workforce in meaningful, credible conversations about union without breaking the law? Are you prepared for organizational picketing? This robust and riveting program will not only provide your management team with the ability to identify areas of vulnerability and the warning signs of organizing activity, but will also arm them with the tools they need to effectively, confidently and lawfully lead your workforce through a successful counter campaign. In order for this program to be effective, we highly recommend a preliminary audit to determine your management culture, workforce environment and organizational needs.
- Effective Recognition and Discipline: To be successful, you need to attract and retain quality employees. It is a tragically popular belief that quality employees are primarily attracted to pay and benefits. While competitive pay packages are certainly important, what quality employees really want is "justice," vis a vis defined expectations, predictable discipline and recognition for accomplishment. Tolerating the "deadwood" is neither compassionate nor prudent. If your managers are passive when it comes to recognition and discipline, not only will your undesirable employees never leave, your quality employees will. Moreover, organizational disciplinary history is the battlefield upon which most employment litigation is won or lost. This program will arm your supervisors with the ability and motivation to not only effectively, consistently and lawfully discipline your workforce, but also to identify and recognize superior performance.
