Both public and private sector employers spend inordinate amounts of time, money
and energy trying to resolve or even litigate personnel problems that might have
been prevented. Personnel problems take a significant toll on workplace
productivity and morale, and on managers� time and resources. In the public
sector, the collective bargaining agreement and the civil service system yields
protections for workers that make managements knowledge of the discipline
process and legal requirements essential for resolution of personnel disputes.

and your workforce as to their legal rights and responsibilities. Trainings
