SUPERVISOR VERSION: A Guide to Managing Conflict in the Workplace
Most supervisors and managers understand that they may be held liable for harassing or abusive conduct against an employee. What many supervisors don't realize is that they can also be held personally liable for failing to respond to reports of harassment, threats of violence, defamation and abusive conduct between their subordinate employees even when the supervisor is not directly involved.

Key Training Points:

• Build awareness among managers of the various federal and common law causes of action
• How to minimize potential liability
• Introduce common legal pitfalls that can trip up well-intentioned managers and supervisors
• Notification to supervisors of their liability for their own inappropriate actions and for those of their employees

Video Case Study Synopsis:

Part I - Jack Cade became a manager just 3 months ago and he is already facing a lawsuit because he failed to act decisively in dealing with conflicts between his employees. This Case Study Video presents a series of situations in which Jack makes mistakes in managing his staff.

Part II - Jack Cade thought he was doing the right thing by not getting involved in his employees' problems...until he was slapped with a lawsuit suing him personally for $600,000. This Case Study Video revisits the mistakes Jack made in Part I, but this time describing how he could have prevented the problems from getting out of hand by following 10 simple rules. The video shows a 10-point Action Plan for better management that should help organizations and managers reduce their liability risk and continue to manage a quality workforce.

Audience: New and experienced supervisors and managers
