Discrimination and harassment awareness
Companies anxious to have a working environment free of these
difficult issues struggle with education, re-education, and reinforcing
awareness while adding employees, replacing turnover, etc. Most
authorities believe, and we agree, that proactively creating a culture
within your company where these attitudes are not tolerated or protected
is the only way to protect yourself from problems. One proactive
solution offered by consultant/lawyer Donald A. Phin, Esq., is a
periodic compliance survey of employees. They offer forms and procedures
for this purpose employees are asked to advise their employer in
writing that (1) they are aware of the companys policies, and (2)
they are unaware of any violations of these policies.

Internet in the office
Jorgensens Journal, a human resources newsletter, tells of
recent survey results: "
developers of on-line gaming services
report 40% to 60% of those who access their services have corporate .com
addresses." Not surprisingly, more than half of executives surveyed
felt employee effectiveness suffered from non-business Internet use. If
this is not an issue at your company, is that because your employees are
unique or because you havent noticed?
