Toxic Employees- Everybody has one!
Live Webinar
How to Manage Toxic & Other Employees Who Have Attitude Issues

Time and Date: Tue, Mar 24, 2020 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT

Overview:

Almost every organization has “that employee” who spreads discord within and outside the organization by outright or underhanded means. “I don’t know what to do with them” is the most common response but not the best response.

The toxic employee problem is surprisingly prevalent & causes significant operational, people-related and financial damage – often even after the toxic employee has left. A toxic employee’s visible behavior is often just the tip of the iceberg. Unfortunately, too many organizations are unnecessarily enduring and suffering the consequences of toxic behavior.

Join Georgia Employers’ Association and Pete Tosh as he gives you proven methods to address the toxic employee issue.

Who Should Attend the Webinar:

Any leader, manager, or supervisor who wants to improve skills, meet their managerial performance objectives and achieve greater results for their organization.

3.9.20

The National Labor Relations Board has issued final regulations on the standard for determining joint-employer status under the National Labor Relations Act. The regulations overrule the expansive test that the Board adopted in Browning-Ferris Industries of California, Inc. Under that 2015 decision, the Obama Board held that joint employer status existed if the entity exhibited “indirect control” over another employer’s employees or reserved the ability to exert such control. The Trump Board issued proposed regulations in 2018 and received more than 20,000 comments.

The new regulations will take effect on April 27.  Read more>>
