Seminars and Training

Upcoming seminars!

I am presenting a seminar for Sterling Education Services, Inc. on March 22, 2012.  My topic will be “Termination Best Practices” which will cover topics such as legal considerations when making termination decisions, severance packages, RIFS and layoffs, and strategies for avoiding claims from former employees.
