INTRODUCTION
Your managers and supervisors are on the front line of your organization. They are responsible for fulfilling your mission while simultaneously supervising your employees and volunteers. All of this must be accomplished in a legal and nondiscriminatory, respectful manner which neither violates the organization’s policies and procedures or the rights of paid workers and volunteers. Failure to be in compliance with HR requirements can cause significant risk and potential liability for your nonprofit and possibly even HR.
Employee and volunteer management in the current business and social environment is more difficult than ever for several reasons relating to concerns about a recession, materials shortages, vaccination hesitancy, social tensions, hybrid workforces, etc. Employee and volunteer supervision is hard enough during the best of times but has become even more challenging and risky in today’s work environment.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
How can you be sure your managers and supervisors are up to today’s workplace challenges? The answer is the Nonprofit Manager & Supervisor HR Compliance Training and Certificate Program. The program consists of 5 webinar modules in downloadable format that are self-paced and designed to be viewed individually or in a group setting as schedules permit. There is also an electronic manual comprised of supporting case studies and best practices. These handout materials can be distributed to all of your supervisory personnel in advance of the training and kept afterwards for future reference.
After your supervisory personnel have viewed all 5 modules, upon request, we’ll send you personalized certificates of completion for each of your managers and supervisors. These attractive certificates are suitable for framing and will attest to the fact that your supervisory personnel understand the importance and value of the regulatory compliance training they have just completed.
The 5 modules comprising the Nonprofit Manager & Supervisor HR Compliance Training and Certificate Program provide training on fundamental supervisory compliance practices. They focus on identifying employment and volunteer problems and how to solve them before they result in a discharge and liability. Emphasis is placed on practical compliance strategies to use within the legal framework of employment laws, contracts, just cause and how to document so that corrective discipline or discharge will stand up to challenge.
