The Blackhawk Human Resource Association has a Supervisor Training coming up on Wednesday this week in Janesville at the Blain Supply Conference Center. This event is hosted by an HR association, but it's the perfect opportunity for supervisors throughout the region to participate in a professional development opportunity. Register online today! https://lnkd.in/gjuScy6b One of our breakout session speakers will be Troy D. Thompson who is a member of the BHRA Board and is an attorney and Labor and Employment Practice Group Leader with Axley Law Firm with offices in Janesville, Madison, and Waukesha. Under federal, state, and some local fair employment laws, an employer and its managers and supervisors generally have a duty to act in response to any internal report or observation of potential discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. The employer has a duty to prevent such conduct, to conduct a prompt and thorough investigation into all such reports, and to take appropriate action to address such matters. Managers and supervisors have a duty to model positive leadership and report all such matters so that the employer may satisfy its duty to act. An employer that fails in its duty to act based upon lack of action or understanding can unnecessarily expose itself to legal criticism and significant liability. In this presentation, Troy will outline the duty to act and describe some of his successful HR best practices. Read the Speaker Bio Below ⬇ Speaker Bio: Troy D. Thompson has been representing businesses in labor and employment matters for more than 25 years, including in the areas of employee performance management, risk avoidance, internal investigations, and corrective action. He has successfully defended employers in dozens of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claims. He is well-known for his strong commitment to his clients’ current and long-term success. He counsels his clients to commit to excellence, exceptional service, continuous improvement, and always lift up.
