What Sets Our HR Compliance Training Apart?
Makana is the author of the classic Prentice Hall book, Stay Out of Court! The Manager’s Guide to Preventing Employee Lawsuits. She has years of experience as an attorney, trainer, and manager, so she gives practical ideas that work in the real world. Combining head and heart with humor, her legal compliance programs are customized for your group and are highly interactive, with case studies, video vignettes, skill-building exercises, small group discussions, and lots of time to get questions answered about how to apply the law to tricky situations.
Your organization’s policies, procedures, and values are included in the program so participants learn the specifics of your processes. Every program integrates the values of diversity and inclusion.
After a recent management training and development program, a manager said, “That was informative and actually it was fun! And we really needed it.” Fun? In a mandatory respectful workplaces class??? One of the themes of our training is to have compassion for ourselves and others. Whether we have experienced harassment or have been harassers—or both—we can have empathy for each other. That doesn’t mean we accept bad behavior, but it does recognize that none of us is perfect. We all make mistakes. And sometimes those mistakes can be pretty funny. Of course, this issue is important. It’s emotional for many people, and some who have experienced it have been traumatized. We need to respect those who have been injured.
At the same time, we know that people don’t learn from an overwhelmingly serious lecture. They need to keep interested and engaged. One way to do that is to chuckle at some of the blunders we all make, either through real-life stories or through cartoons or videos.
“A lot of what I had thought I knew turned out to be wrong. Good eye-opener.”

- “Treat others the way they want to be treated rather than the way I would want to be treated.”
- “Resolving conflict in the work place through methods taught throughout the course.”
- “Better understanding of what is appropriate and inappropriate behavior.”
- “Difference between coaching, counseling, and warning.”

Our legal compliance programs are highly rated by the people usually forced to be there. Our favorite testimonial came from a high-tech SVP who said, “This class was better than CATS!” Better still, his CEO called a few weeks later and said the SVP had completely turned around his behavior.
