Our Managing Within the Law courses provide employment law training for managers and executives both in-person and online. These classes are appropriate for new managers and as refresher courses. Included are such topics as documentation, performance management, leaves of absence and accommodation, and discrimination.

Managing Within the Law leads to lower employee turnover, and therefore higher customer satisfaction, which in turn drives profits. Good managers determine if people stay or go. This employment law training program teaches managers to live the company’s values, build consistency and trust across managers’ teams, develop and practice effective communication, and create a respectful workplace for all. Managing Within the Law is an essential skills program that is a key component of every new manager’s training curriculum. It also is an engaging refresher for the experienced manager.
