PRESENTATION
Personnel Problems and Litigation: Out of Your Control?
Mike McCall, J.D.
6 Certified Fire Inspector CE Points Available!
Personnel lawsuits, such as workplace harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination can be lodged against your emergency services district at any time. How will you do under the scrutiny of a deposition or on the witness stand? Emergency services organizations and professionals are uniquely vulnerable to personnel lawsuits and public relations nightmares.
Presentation attendees will receive practical guidance on how to best protect their professional reputations, the legal liability interests of their organizations, and maintain equitable and safe work environments for their personnel. A goal is to help organizations deal with personnel problems in-house, rather than the courthouse or court of public opinion.
