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.

Freedom of Speech and the Workplace: Balancing Employer and Employee Rights

Thursday, May 30, 2024 at 1:00 pm ET

Duration: 90 minutes

Speaker: Dr. Jim Castagnera, Esq.

View Webinar Details

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.
