PROGRAM: Handling Legal Issues at the Office
SPEAKER: Kim Wilkerson, Wilkerson Consulting Group
Never before have organizations and employees been so challenged by the sometimes confusing expectations of legal compliance. . .
What’s right? What’s wrong?
What’s good? What’s bad?
You mean that’s really ok to do?
Why in the world can’t I say that?
In some situations, legal guidelines and your organization’s best practices are “clear cut.” In other cases, there are many “shades of gray” as to what is professional and/or appropriate. It’s a never-ending balance of legal compliance and best practices in order to create and maintain an effective and successful environment.
Here are some of the topics we’ll discuss related to legal compliance and best practices:
What is it? And, equally important, what isn’t it?
- Implied Contracts and Employment at Will
Why this can be a lawsuit waiting to happen.
- Harassment and Hostile Work Environment
It’s about perceptions and impact. . . not intent.
- Confidentiality and Discretion
Who, what, when, where, and why (or why not!)
Documentation made easy (and legal!) in any situation.
- Additional Legal Landmines
What are they? What do you do when you know they are happening in your organization?
Join us for this interesting and informative discussion as we take a close up look at these avenues (and more!) as they are related to your invaluable role as an Administrative Assistant in Handling Legal Issues at the Office.
