What we Do

TRAINING
What is one of the top reasons managers cite for changing employers? Lack of training. When managers are not given the tools they need to be successful, they find an employer who places a value on educating its workforce. Or, if they stay, their employees leave.
WorkRelationships understands that well trained managers are effective and professionally fulfilled managers. Whether the training focus is on appropriate workplace behavior, effective performance management, or power managing through relationships, WorkRelationships can help.
Training. It can make the difference between a manager who makes a contribution to your company, or one who lands your company in court.

INVESTIGATIONS
Governmental agencies, judges and juries take the promptness, thoroughness and impartiality of a company’s investigation of a workplace complaint seriously.
Very, seriously.
The quality of an investigation can easily become the deciding factor in resolving an internal complaint, or become the solid evidence you need if your case goes to court. Retaining a qualified, impartial investigator satisfies an employer’s obligation to investigate complaints and then take corrective action as necessary.

With a WorkRelationshps’ investigator, you’ll get insightful interviewing of witnesses, thorough evaluation of evidence, cautious weighing of credibility—all of which put you on the right side of the law—right where you want to be.

SENSITIVITY TRAINING
You know the scenario: There’s this great performer in your company whose inappropriate workplace behavior is unsettling the office or even putting your company at risk for litigation. You don’t want to lose this asset, but you want to make sure that their out-of-line behavior doesn’t continue.

Depending on the underlying facts, the typical training covers the following areas:

Analysis of Causes
What are the beliefs and attitudes that led to the problematic behavior?

Understanding of Consequences
How does the individual’s behavior affect their personal credibility, performance, and morale, as well as that of the workplace and company in general?

Clarification of the Law
What constitutes acceptable and unacceptable workplace behavior?

Clarification of Company Policy
What are the company policies and obligations under federal and state laws?

Setting of Goals
What changes in behavior are expected?

Providing Necessary Tools
What tools does the individual need to successfully achieve performance expectations?
At the conclusion of the training, WorkRelationships provides the employer with a written summary that verifies the substance of the training. The summary establishes the company’s proactive and remedial efforts and the employee’s participation.

EXPERT WITNESS SERVICES
Contrary to popular opinion, most Employment Law disputes do not end in a courtroom trial. They settle—often thanks to the work done by experts.
With extensive experience in emotional distress claims and employment practices, WorkRelationships can provide the expert witness and litigation consultation that gives credibility to your case whether in the pre-trial or courtroom scenario.
