Wrongful termination is a prevalent and often successful claim that employees bring against their employers. In HR and as managers, we are always advised to document, document, and document. Even more than documentation itself is the process that should be followed, what should be documented, how situations should be stated, what words to use, what to include or not, and how not to can be tricky if someone has never been trained.
This webinar will cover best practices in documentation and provide guidance specifically on how to avoid wrongful termination claims. Helping your managers understand the importance of documentation is enough so that it will become a priority for them. We'll cover how to and how not to write, store, present, and use documentation.
