Master the Fundamentals and Minimize Organizational Risk

Understanding and applying the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is tricky for even the most seasoned HR professionals, so imagine how supervisors and managers must feel. Getting up to speed on the fundamentals of the FMLA is not only a compliance requirement, it's the right thing to do for your employees. It can also help mitigate risk in your organization.

In this highly-interactive eight-hour workshop, taught in two four-hour sessions, you will refine the skills you need to properly administer the Family Medical Leave Act in your organization. You'll review the different elements of the FMLA and how to apply them correctly. You'll speak with FMLA experts and attorneys, collaborate and network with your peers, and leave with the tools and resources you need to apply what you've learned in real-life situations.
