Our Process
Analysis and Assessment
We spend up to four hours at your place of business, identifying challenges, meeting and interviewing staff, surveying employees, and talking with you about your labor organization’s training needs. We want to understand your strategic goals, gauge your HR challenges, identify skill and knowledge gaps, and find out what is holding your labor organization back from being even more successful. From there, we work with you to design a training program that best suits your labor organization’s needs.
Available Training Curriculum
From harassment prevention to leave management, the dynamic range of workplace law REQUIRES all employers and training agents to conduct periodic training to ensure a legally compliant and productive workplace and/or learning environment. Our firm has developed a wide array of hands-on workshops and training modules that can easily be adopted into any training program. Each workshop and module is presented on-site by one of our knowledgeable facilitators in a manner that best suits your organization’s needs and time constraints.
Training and Curriculum Development
When it comes to developing training specific to your organizational needs, we use an approach that respects the availability and learning styles of your team, allowing them to pick and choose activities and modules that work for them while still delivering the content they want and need. Our trainings are engaging and interactive. Experienced facilitators support your team to not only learn new information, but also apply their learning to generate new realizations and possibilities. This can include, but is not limited to, self-assessment surveys with personal feedback, topical podcasts, video-based instruction, attending in-class workshops and training modules, and engaging in role-playing games and group exercises. At the end of each course we ask for all participants to fill out a brief survey on what they liked and how we can improve to customize our approach to your organizations
