Presentation: Confronting Three Sacred HR Cows: Performance Reviews, “Progressive” Discipline, and Anti-Harassment Training  

Presentation Summary: 
Over the past 40 years, employment law litigation has mushroomed into an ongoing reality.

Unfortunately, in an effort to prevent such litigation, employers and the HR profession have adopted three misguided practices.

In this session, former state bar “Employment Lawyer of the Year” and now executive coach and organization culture consultant Jathan Janove will show how to convert these three pieces of conventional “wisdom” into something much better at claim prevention that actually promotes overall organization health.  

Key Takeaways:

• Create and implement a performance management/feedback system that delivers true organization value.

• Replace conventional “progressive” discipline with a practice that’s both humane and effective.

• Convert traditional anti-harassment policy and practice into a far more organization healthy and effective approach based on civility.
