How to Better Protect Your Company from Employee-Related Litigation

The sharks lie in wait for your balloon to pop with a nasty law suit. Legal action is an ever present danger in the corporate world--from harassment suits to product liability issues to charges of fraud. But there are ways to protect your company, especially from employee-related litigation. First follow these four best practices:

1. Keep up to date with fair practice regulations.
   
   
2. Adhere to all anti-discrimination laws.
   
   
3. Apply employee policies fairly and consistently.
   
   
4. Document, document, document. The best protection is a paper trail that clearly establishes steps in progressive discipline and performance management.
   

Beyond those common sense procedures, the key is to invest in a proven program of corporate compliance training. Minimize the risk of being thrown to the legal sharks by training your managers in the importance of fair and consistent employee practices in a way that aligns with your corporate values and performance culture. Implement training focused on creating a mutually respectful workplace for your entire workforce.
