Ready Response: A Supervisor Training Series

Shows supervisors how to identify and address potential HR-related problems with employees.

Having good communication between your human resources department and supervisors is critical to implementing company policies and avoiding legal issues.

That's why it's so important for supervisors to recognize potential situations with employees, know how to handle them effectively, and understand when to get HR involved.

This four-video series takes an interactive approach to supervisor training and uses real-world examples and scenarios to illustrate a variety of HR situations. This unique format challenges supervisors to determine if situations were handled correctly or if there was a better way to respond ... it also encourages them to transfer what they've learned to practical applications in their own jobs. Each video includes strategically placed breaks to allow for group discussion and Q&A.

Available on DVD and VHS, the Ready Response: A Supervisor Training Series includes:

• Diversity and Discrimination - Focuses on ways supervisors can help prevent discrimination and intervene when problems arise; also gives suggestions for handling investigations relating to discrimination claims.
• FMLA - Shows how to get information when employees are absent and what qualifies as leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
• Sexual Harassment - Shows how to prevent sexual harassment, recognize harassing behavior, and address situations when the need arises.
• Violence in the Workplace - Illustrates how to identify potentially violent situations and individuals and resolve conflicts in the workplace.

Each supervisor training program comes with a 15- to 20-minute minute video that provides background information on the HR topic covered, explains supervisor involvement, and includes 5-7 perception challenges.

You'll also receive a Trainer's Guide with training tips and answer key, 10 ready-to-use Test Sheets for administering on-screen challenges, and 10 Supervisor Fact Sheets with take-along reminders.
