Coaching Leaders to Handle Employee Relations Situations

This interactive and entertaining session provides HR Professionals with scripts for coaching leaders to handling employee relations situations with sensitivity, good judgment, and high confidence. Topics include employee complaints, personality & attitude problems, performance counseling, personal hygiene problems, disability-related performance issues, misconduct due to mental conditions.

You will learn how to use a judicially recognized process, “Reset the Clock,” that prevents attorneys from taking something leaders did wrong in the past and using it to support lawsuits in the future. Liability is replaced with credibility.

Lawsuits are then avoided rather than won. Financial assets are protected, morale stays high, and bad publicity is averted. HR Professionals avoid hearing from senior leaders: “You should have anticipated this” after an avoidable legal claim.

Michael J. Mirarchi is recognized as a leading expert in employment-related lawsuit prevention.

As an Employee Relations Counselor, he is dedicated to helping employers stay litigation-free.

Drawing from over 35 years of experience as an employer defense attorney and as a HR Vice

President, he developed “Reset the Clock - Practical Employee Relations for Leaders.” He has

presented it over 1,370 times to more than 35,000 leaders at employers across North America.

Mr. Mirarchi believes that most leaders exercise their abilities with fairness, integrity, and

professionalism. Nevertheless, there are plenty of opportunities to run into potential liability

situations. In these situations, leaders who know what to do and how to do it have a tremendous

advantage over those who don’t, in avoiding lawsuits.

He has presented the HR Professional version of this program for SHRM Chapters across the

country, biannually for DallasHR.

In 2013, Mike was recognized as the first inductee into the HRSouthwest Conference Speaker Hall

of Fame. Over the last 30 years, he has consistently been one of the highest-rated speakers,

advancing the HR profession and making a lasting impact on Dallas HR. He is an educator and a

trusted advisor to the entire DallasHR community.

In conjunction with industry and professional associations, he has conducted live TV broadcasts,

webinars, and on-line programs, in addition to presenting at regional and national conferences.
