Employer Services

 

Employee Services | Services Overview

 

The old saying, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” is a very wise course in reducing workplace disputes and costly problems.  Untreated, bad morale grows like a cancer, spreading throughout your organization and eventually affecting recruitment, retention, productivity, customer service, quality and safety. On the other hand, the creation, dissemination and communication of fair, respectful and equally applied policies and procedures have the opposite impact; increasing your organizations reputation as a great place to work and a great company with which to do business.

We advise and counsel employers on: 

 

• Employment practices
• Wage and hour matters
• Prevention training and investigation of harassment and discrimination

• Hiring, promotion, discharge, downsizing and severance decisions
• Non-compete agreements
• Employment-related litigation
