Compliance Risk: Do You Know What You Need to Know?

When it comes to corporate compliance training, do you know what you need to know?

If you are a company executive, you should be worried about the possibility of a law suit. You should do all you can to protect your company from such a liability.

But your expertise is not in the law; it is in running the organization. You cannot possibly be aware of all the current laws regarding the workplace. What you need to know is that you must do your part to educate your workforce on the legal way to behave on the job and fulfill your responsibility to secure legal advice on how to avoid vulnerability.

HR should have legal counsel on staff or readily available whenever there are questions. For instance, what is the legal limit of medical leave? What constitutes harassment? What specifically defines discrimination?

Don’t risk expensive and reputation-damaging lawsuits. Put your company in the hands of experienced attorneys and train your workforce in how to behave in a respectful and ethical manner.
