“Historic trends and events are converging into a perfect storm that could place antidiscrimination at the center of corporate policy with an intensity unseen since passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964”, ‐ Dr. James Fadigan, one of the authors of the Title VII antidiscrimination provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and a leading authority on equal employment opportunity.
If you think your managers aren’t clear about the legal risks they can create for your company every
time they evaluate, re‐assign, respond to employee issues, or provide performance feedback you are probably right!
So how can your organization avoid a shipwreck in this perfect storm? Make sure the captain and crew (that is, your managers and supervisors) are well‐trained to:
• Know the waters
• Spot employment law hazards
• Chart their business reasons for all decisions, and
• Seek advice from navigation experts (upper management, HR, Legal)
