OEC Winter Employer Seminar Series
Oregon Employer Council (OEC) invites you to attend any of our Winte Employer Seminars presented by Jeff Burgess, Bureau of Labor & Industries. The seminars that will be held in Ontario are:
Effective Supervisory Practices
Making sure the work gets done is only part of a supervisor’s job. . . .
Supervisors also bear the responsibility for making the workplace safe, legal and harassment-free. They have to know how to motivate their employees, how to discipline them – and do it all within the legal guidelines regulating workplace practices.
This full-day session provides supervisors and managers with practical tips and advice that promote efficiency and compliance with state and federal employment laws.
Discussions include:
At-will employment and its exceptions
Job interviews and legal hiring practices
Starting new employees on the right foot
Goal setting
Coaching and motivating employees
Writing effective warnings
Documentation and discipline
Termination and exit interviews
The opportunity to ask your questions!
Legal Hiring Practices
Few decisions have a greater impact on the long-term success (or failure) of a business than those that have to do with selecting the right per-son for the job.
While no applicant is a perfect fit, at a minimum the right person should have the necessary...
Knowledge, skills and abilities to hit the ground running,
People skills to interface with your organization and clientele, and
Motivation to begin making a valuable contribution without constant supervision.
Of course, finding that person consumes time, energy, and resources. In addition, legal requirements place a number of significant restric-tions on how potential employers go about advertising positions, soliciting applications, interviewing candidates and conducting background checks. A misstep here can create room for a potential complaint or lawsuit around issues like employment discrimination, negligent hiring or invasion of privacy.
This seminar will focus on how consistently applied legal hiring procedures can help to identify the best qualified job candidate for a particu-lar position without running afoul of the law.
