The Human Resources landscape is changing quickly – from paid sick and safe time and the numerous other changes in Minnesota to the new federal independent contractor rules, pregnancy and accommodation changes, and everything in between. Our HR & Employment Attorneys have been busy helping with handbooks, policy audits, procedural drafting, and more. But did you know that they are also available to provide organizational training? Many of our clients have been taking advantage of the chance to meet with one of our attorneys in a group training program to help implement new policies and practices, to refresh skills, to ask questions, and to expand their team’s capabilities.

Our programs work particularly well with groups of 10 to 20 people, but (again) we can tailor programming to fit your specific needs.
