Seminars are designed to prevent employment discrimination and reduce employer liabilities by delivering up-to-date information on today's most important employment issues. Examples of training seminars presented by SHAC are:

Equal Employment

This training provides participants with critical skills needed for successful supervision and presents an overview of the various employment laws, as well as a look at the current trends from our courts. Participants are given a concise, easy-to-understand, explanation of the proofs and defenses in a charge of discrimination. Small groups participate in a case study on safe hiring and eliminating bias in the selection process.

Affirmative Action

The Affirmative Action seminar dispels the many myths surrounding the controversial topic. Participants learn how to conduct statistical analyses that not only meet state/federal compliance standards but also comply with recent Supreme Court decisions on AAPs. This is a practical approach that will bring clarity to a confusing area and will assist managers in meeting their employment goals and objectives.

Sexual Harassment

This two-hour seminar is designed to help managers distinguish between inappropriate behavior and unlawful behavior, and between sexual attraction and sexual harassment. The training combines a legal briefing with common sense steps employers can take to lessen their liabilities by recognizing, eliminating and preventing sexual harassment in the workplace.

"Communications"

New labor force statistics indicate our workforces are changing dramatically and are more culturally diverse that ever before. To manage effectively, today's managers must be ready to deal with diversity, eliminate barriers in communication, and provide a foundation for positive relationships in the workplace. Small groups discuss problems encountered in the workplace and ways of handling each problem.

Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990

The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) training informs managers and supervisors of the disabled person's legal rights in the workplace. Explanation and discussions center on terms such as essential job functions, reasonable accommodations, job descriptions, testing, medical examinations, illegal use of alcohol and drugs. Proofs, defenses and remedies are also discussed. Case scenarios are presented and discussed, providing participants a more practical approach to solving problems they may face in the future.
