Legal Compliance Issues

It's no secret that the number of claims against employers has been rising steadily for decades. The amount of dollars paid to settle these claims has skyrocketed and is cause for major concern. Business leaders know that legal action is an expected component of doing business and having employees, but those who invest in prevention and protection practices, see fewer complaints and have more favorable outcomes when actions are filed.

People Wise can help your business be better prepared through consulting service as well as training and assessment programs.

For those businesses needing a general overview of compliance issues, People Wise offers programs in the MILLENIUM series. One program in particular, titled “In Compliance”, offers a broad range of legal compliance issue descriptions and solutions that business managers must know to avoid costly legal troubles. Other programs offered by our consultants include legally acceptable methods of interviewing and hiring, EEO compliance information, legal termination tips and performance management fundamentals.

Knowing that a particular choice is legal, does not always make it the right thing to do. We also offer ethics training courses that help improve decision-making skills.

ADA Training

The 1992 Americans with Disabilities Act has made it easier for employees with disabilities to find employment. Workers with disabilities continue to make valuable contributions to businesses, but many business owners and managers have little if any practical knowledge of what their responsibilities are in maintaining a compliant workplace. A program titled “The ADA Revisited” provides details of the law and consequences business face for failing to meet the law's provisions.

Experienced trainers with People Wise will visit your workplace to offer this valuable program or your managers may take a course online to familiarize themselves with key ADA requirements.
