Track B: Legal Compliance and Risk Management. Peter Lowe and Dan Stockford of Brann & Issaacson offer for your consideration a staged sexual harrassment case with an HR professional – one of you - on the Hot Seat. Peter Fitch, HR Director at Lee Auto Malls, has agreed to tackle that role. Follow what appears to be a straight forward and routine deposition, as the HR witness is exposed to common vulnerabilities seen in any type of case. Seven key shortcomings covered include: note keeping/documentation, correct use of email and retention of email, staff training, investigations, maintaining personnel and medical records, employee confidentiality, and background screening. This session will enhance your compliance skills and help keep you (and your organization) off the hot seat!
