Practical Employee Relations: Replacing Liability with Credibility
A continuing challenge facing employers in these tough economic times is staying litigation-free. Compliance-based training programs are only a partial solution. As a result of losing more lawsuits than they won after the federal and state EEO laws came into effect, employers adopted compliance-based training programs. This resulted in employers winning more lawsuits than they lost. If you had the best compliance-based program, theoretically you should win all your lawsuits. But you would still have lawsuits because the focus of the program remained on “what not to do.”
