Training

The everyday demands of work life make it impossible for in-house counsel and Human Resource managers to keep up with ever-changing workplace regulations. Additional resources are often needed to help train employees on best practices and to educate supervisors on the legal exposure of employment law.

Foster Employment Law supports its clients by promoting comprehensive workforce training as an effective and efficient way to avoid the risk of litigation. We also consult on compliance issues regarding state and federal labor and employment laws.

Litigation risk continues to multiply as long-standing and well-developed areas of employment law are becoming increasingly complex.  Many employers and employees, for example, remain confused as to what constitutes sexual harassment in the workplace.

Foster Employment Law provides training for human resources, management and staff on all employer and employee matters. Foster Employment Law training modules are designed for use by both small- and large- private, public and non-profit employers and are tailored to the needs of each employer's workforce. A sample of our offerings include:
