All Fair Measures trainers are practicing employment law attorneys with years of consultation and courtroom experience on tough employment law issues. They are also excellent facilitators who know how to communicate in plain English. Rather than lecture, they engage participants in active learning with stories and humor, making the law come alive. They answer tough questions that managers are grappling with currently and make each course fun, upbeat and extremely practical. Our trainers are consistently given the highest evaluations possible by class participants. They know the law and how to connect with the learner so that your training investment is well integrated into actual management practices.
