Excel for HR Managers
Tuesday, December 5, 2023 at 12:00 pm ET
Duration: 90 minutes
Speaker: Melissa Esquibel
In HR, it is virtually impossible to do compensation, benefits, project management or any HR function without knowing some Excel, and it is impossible to be a true business partner without knowing Excel. Using Excel is not merely having the ability to enter names into lists. Excel saves you time while bringing understanding to piles of data. Before Excel, it could take weeks to organize, analyze and present data that can now be accomplished better in an afternoon.
The power of Excel is the ability to use the data entered into its spreadsheets to perform mathematical calculations as well as other financial functions. Excel’s functions can provide answers for simple to complex statistical and financial questions. Pivot tables allow you to slice and dice data to gather significance from data. Connections between data can be represented visually as charts, graphs, or histograms to provide better understanding.

Duration: 90 minutes
Speaker: Deirdre Kamber Todd, Esq
If you’ve been working in Human Resources for more than a minute, you know the mantra for HR is “document, document, document.” Whether its online or on paper, HR is required to document on….well, everything. If you feel like you’re spending most of your day documenting and losing your productivity, you are not alone. It’s time to cut down on the constant need to document everything, to stop reinventing the wheel, and to start documenting smarter, not harder. This program will look at what you actually need to document legally, and what can be discarded. We’ll discuss writing tricks such as the Funnel Method, CIRAC, and FORMation 101 to make your documentation the best it can be with the smallest amount of time investment and still maintain legal compliance.

Quiet Quitting. Is it the New Employee Work-Life Balance or Active Disengagement
Wednesday, December 13, 2023 at 1:30 pm ET
Duration: 90 minutes
Speaker: Deirdre Kamber Todd, Esq
If you’ve heard the term “quiet quitting” but are not sure what it means to your workplace, this is the program you need to attend. “Quiet quitting,” from an employer’s perspective, is the new employee disengagement, that is, employees doing less while still being paid. From employee’s mentally “checking out” during the day, to refusing to work later hours, or simply saying no to their bosses, “quiet quitting” is a huge problem for employers.

Freedom of Speech and the Workplace: Balancing Employer and Employee Rights
Tuesday, January 9, 2024 at 1:00 pm ET
Duration: 90 minutes
Speaker: Dr. Jim Castagnera, Esq.
Employees at both private companies and public organizations enjoy free-speech rights from a wide range of other sources, some of which are likely to be as surprising to you as their job rescission was to those Harvard students. For example, the National Labor Relations Board interprets section 7 of the national labor law as protecting social-media posts by employees, when these workers are acting in concert for their mutual aid and protection. Other employee-speech protections include a multitude of federal and state whistleblower laws, as well as so-called “Legal Activity” laws insulating off-duty speech from retaliation.
With a contentious national-election year looming, employers’ patience and self-restraint are bound to be sorely tested by activist employees. While you have every right to restrain workplace speech in the name of safety and efficiency, knowing where that right ends and your employees’ rights begin is essential to avoiding lawsuits, agency actions, and worker agitation.
