The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) place a burden that employers must fill. Failure to comply with these federal regulations can lead to lawsuits and fines. It is therefore imperative that you have human resources personnel that are knowledgeable in how these laws apply to the company. Due to the fact that these laws may be amended or changed, it is important to stay up to date.
Our "FMLA and ADA Compliance Certificate Program" in San Francisco is an intensive three-day program that will teach human resources personnel everything they need to know about these two laws.
Upon completion of the seminar, employees will understand what they are obligated to do, how they can comply with these laws, and best practices.

An internal investigation is often required when conflicts or disputes arise in a company.
Given the immense amount of regulations and laws that govern this matter, it is critical to have staff and policies in place to handle internal investigations in a highly transparent and expedient manner.
One of the best ways to ensure both a fair process and a skilled staff handling internal investigations is to have human resources personnel undergo annual internal investigation training. These seminars lay out how to handle internal investigations professionally and within the bounds and requirements of the law.
Our "Certification Program For Internal investigations" is held over three days several times a year in San Francisco, and covers several key topics related to internal investigations. This includes understanding the underlying causes of complaints and conflict in the workplace and federal laws that pertain to complaints and harassment.
