MANDATORY MANAGEMENT TRAINING ALERT: Following through on U.S. Supreme Court decisions first issued in the late 1990’s, the California legislature has now required that employers with 50 or more employees train their managers and supervisors in employment law. California joins numerous other states with similar legislative mandates, such as Connecticut, Colorado, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Vermont. In many of the states lacking statutory training requirements, federal and state courts have effectively mandated the same kind of employment law training in their jurisdictions.

CCG can help companies meet these requirements though a variety of in-person and e-learning management training alternatives. In addition to satisfying legal mandates, our training focuses on changing the management behaviors that create employment liabilities, and making certain that those changes last for the long term. See our website for additional information.

If you wish to receive more information, or a free copy of our Real World E-Learning™ Sampler, a 20 minute CD-ROM demonstrating some of our e-learning alternatives, please click here.
