    What to Do When Managers Expect HR to Do the Dirty Work (and won't do their part!)

    Ever feel like managers expect you to do the dirty work for them? That you have to be the "bad guy" because managers want to avoid difficult conversations? Are managers skirting the tough stuff and counting on you to clean up their messes?

    The list of tasks that some managers expect HR to do for them is endless. Feedback. PIPs. Performance Appraisals. Documentation. Progressive Discipline. Conflict Resolution. Terminations. Exit Interviews. Interviews. Salary Negotiations.  

    What are your options in this situation? You don't want to be the process police, constantly looking over managers' shoulders. On the other hand, you don't want to let managerial oversights become big, costly issues for the organization. 

    Join this highly interactive, virtual workshop for tips on resetting expectations and getting managers to do their part. Participants will:

    • Receive a simple tool that helps determine when HR should intervene.
    • Discover 5 good reasons for managers to handle people interactions on their own.
    • Learn the "magic words" that convince managers to handle situations early and effectively.
    • Find out how to prepare managers for work that HR really shouldn't be doing.

    Getting the People Equation Right

     People are not your greatest asset. Having the right people, in the right jobs, effectively led are your greatest asset.

    Every leader today has a heightened challenge in getting the right people in the right jobs. You will not be equal to that challenge if you follow the traditional approach for making a hiring decision. That is assessing qualifications—experience, education and skill set—and then conducting and interview that is inherently subject to confirmation bias.

    There is a better way, the People Equation:

    Attitude (Suitability) + Qualifications (Eligibility) + Culture Fit = Job Success

    You have people who can do the job successfully, but do they want to do the job for you? This presentation will also set out 5 leadership commitments that support engaging and retaining talent.

    Drug Testing, Cannabis, and the New Normal

    You asked. We heard you! The membership had lots of questions surrounding the legal landscape of drug testing policies in light of changes across the United States to the laws on marijuana use.  To be compliant but also responsive to the need for employees in this environment, many employers have begun considering major changes to their drug testing policies.  In doing so, employers are forced to navigate a labyrinth of federal laws, state statutes and court decisions when developing polices around the various issues. Those issues include pre-employment screenings, accident-related policies and drug testing practices around cannabis use inside and outside the workplace. This Legal Perk will explore some of the changes that are being made by employers around drug-testing policies. It will also explore some of the common missteps employers are making and provide tips for moving forward with a progressive yet protective plan for the workplace and the employees. Come armed with your questions and concerns and Ms. Perez will provide invaluable information regarding this important issue.

    The Changing landscape of Non-Compete: Federal considerations and updates on State Law Issues

    The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has made a proposal to bar nearly all noncompete agreements between employers and employees. It is believed that such a ban would affect about 30 million workers. The proposed rule would prevent employers from entering into noncompete agreements with workers and require employers to rescind existing noncompete agreements and provide notice that these clauses are no longer in effect. The FTC said noncompetes—contractual covenants in which employees agree not to accept similar employment with a competitor after their employment period is over—harm competition by blocking workers from pursuing better opportunities and by preventing employers from hiring the best available talent. In this legal perk, we will discuss the proposed rule, the current backlash and where Louisiana rules currently stand with regard to non-competes. Our presenter will provide current caselaw examples, provide real-life experience and provide information so you have some knowledge regarding whether or not your non-compete stands up to current scrutiny under the law.

    Speaker Info
