Two ELI clients recently asked me, “What does your company offer to refresh the Civil Treatment® learning we’ve just done?” or “What workplace ethics and compliance training should we provide next?”
In some cases, these questions are prompted by new regulatory initiatives such as the Department of Labor’s new Plan/Prevent/Protect compliance strategy. For these clients, the immediate solution may be Wage & Hour-FLSA training.
For other HR executives, the more important and fundamental question is “What can we do now?” rather than “What can we do next?”
“We’ve always worked through lunch.”
“I do all my admin stuff before the shift starts so I can focus on my real job.”
“I’ll do the training on my own time. I’m more productive that way.”
What’s striking in the daily employment law bulletins I read is that the biggest cases involve the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), until recently a long-slumbering phoenix.
