California employment laws are complex; the vast majority of the time, even high-level executives simply do not understand the laws, their legal obligations or Company policies that were drafted by others. No one is better equipped to provide an eye-opening and occasionally frightening depiction of the dangers of non-compliance than our team at Sherman Law Corporation. Whether or not it is required or by law, there is no other more cost-effective weapon for employers than the clarity we can help provide.
Because we spend the majority of our time in contentious litigation, one of the most gratifying parts of our law practice is the on-site interactive training. First, we partner with employers to customize each training program to address the issues that have or are likely to occur in your workplace. Nothing is more effective than presenting real-life examples from litigated cases where the costs of non-compliance — the difference between 6-figure jury verdicts reported by local papers or 60 minutes of your time — are embedded in participants’ minds forever.
Secondly, mandatory in-person training with an employment attorney is the equivalent of getting the attention of a small child in a boring classroom. Research shows we only have 60 seconds to captivate and connect with our audience. Whether we are presenting in front of disinterested employees, a despondent judge in a crowded courtroom, or a reluctantly-selected jury in a high-stakes trial, we have less than one minute to win over the audience.
Opening (and closing) with a bang, we employ visual media and other proven teaching techniques intended to evoke emotional, physical and verbal responses from each participant. Once we establish a connection, we must create a safe place to freely exchange responses, concerns, and issues without judgment, so that everyone in the room is invested in learning best practices for the real-life scenarios which have or are likely to arise at their workplace.
No video training module will share with all of your employees the actual litigation process, but our team stands in the shoes of employees and employers alike from start to finish, sharing the ups and downs experienced by both sides, as well as the unspoken costs experienced by all parties.
