Does your company have a robust succession plan in place that creates continuity in this increasingly volatile work environment? Does your company’s development process adequately grow associates, so they are prepared to fill your succession plan? This workshop will outline intentional succession planning steps and valuable development tools that will help ensure backup personnel are identified to fill in immediately and future candidates are identified so they can be trained over time for specific positions.
Robert Weil, Esq.
The focus of the workshop will be to share and talk through a variety of important employment policies and procedures that will assist an employer in better managing its employees and help in the avoidance of the risks created by problematic employees. We will discuss policies that can be implemented to protect both the employer and its employees; we will talk about common employee warning signs that may be missed by the employer or HR staff; and we will share helpful techniques in the hiring process, identification of key employee documentation, disciplinary and termination issues, how to address bullying and harassment in the workplace, and finally, workplace issues arising out of the pandemic.

Finally, you’ve found someone to fill that open position! So, you’re done right? Not even close. You may not realize it, but engagement (or disengagement) starts even before your new hire’s first day on the job.
Companies with an effective onboarding process improved new hire retention by 82% according to Glassdoor research. If you want to make sure there’s a day two, a solid onboarding program (including orientation and training) is vital.
Onboarding is key to acclimatizing and integrating your new employee into the company. If well-designed, it provides tools to increase their chances of success and enhances the overall employee experience. This session will explore getting your new hire ready, set, and off to a good start.
