SUPERVISORY / MANAGEMENT TRAINING

Harper Gerlach has provided a specialized training program for managers and supervisors on a wide assortment of labor and employment law topics. We have found that often, employment litigation is a result of the actions or statements of a frontline supervisor. Whether or not an employee will support an outside labor organization, also depends heavily on his relationship with his immediate supervisor. We take a strong, proactive stance in conducting training to avoid legal costs and litigation for our clients.

The best way to win an employment law suit is not to be involved in one. That is why we stress preventive action including management training and sound personnel policies. We have conducted training programs in the following areas:

  • “Managing Within the Law” a training program designed to educate managers and supervisors on Florida and Federal employment laws.
