    On Navigating Technology During the Application Process

    Welcome to AccelPro Employment Law, where we provide expert interviews and coaching to accelerate your professional development. Today we’re featuring a conversation with Craig Fisher, Talent Consultant & Author.  In a world where technology has made it easier than ever to overapply, Fisher explains what companies are doing to find qualified candidates, and what job seekers should be aware of before they submit their applications. Specificity, Fisher says, is the best way to get your resume in front of human eyes and find the position that works for you. “Focus is one of the most important things. Don't try to be everything to everyone. Don't try to be a Jack or Jill of all trades. Don't apply to anything and everything. Focus very specifically on the thing that you would most likely get hired to do and get paid well to do.” --- AccelPro’s interviews and products accelerate your professional development.

    On Dealing with Workplace Activism

    Welcome to AccelPro Employment Law, where we provide expert interviews and coaching to accelerate your professional development. Today we’re going to talk about workplace activism. Our guest is Peter Rahbar, an employment attorney, workplace issues expert and founder of The Rahbar Group. He offers a three-step process—strategy, policies, and communication with employees—to handle whatever comes up, and with this being an election year, surely something will. A company can’t predict or control problems created by workplace activism. But it can control its preparation for handling it. “If you don’t have a rapid response team set up as a company, you’re probably not doing your job, in my estimation,” he says. “You need to have a cross-company team ready to go when a crisis emerges. That would not only include general management executives, but also lawyers, comms people (and) technology people.”  --- AccelPro’s interviews and products accelerate your professional development.

    On Religious Accommodation in the Dobbs Era

    Welcome to AccelPro Employment Law, where we provide expert interviews and coaching to accelerate your professional development. Today, we’re going to talk about religious accommodation in the Dobbs era. Our guest is Ann McGinley. She’s a recently retired law professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, William S. Boyd School of Law, where she also served as the co-director of the Workplace Law Program. She sees rising controversy due to growing interest in religious accommodation, particularly as it relates to job duties. As she wrote in a recent piece and expands on here: “The stakes are high. Employers have no choice but to try to ameliorate the conflicts at work arising from this powder keg, and religious accommodation requests are often central to either creating a conflagration or dousing the fire.” --- AccelPro’s interviews and products accelerate your professional development.

    On College Sports and Unionization

    Welcome to AccelPro Employment Law, where we provide expert interviews and coaching to accelerate your professional development. Today we are going to talk about college sports and unionization. Our guest is Nellie Drew. Drew is a law professor and founder of the Center for the Advancement of Sport at the University at Buffalo. In this episode, we talk about myriad employment law issues the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) is facing, from the rise of name, image and likeness deals to the unionization of Dartmouth’s men’s basketball team, to arguments about who, exactly, the athletes work for if they are, in fact, employees. Collectively, all of this portends seismic changes in the NCAA in the employment law space. “It’s clear that this ball’s been rolling downhill a long time,” Drew says. “It took a while. It took a long while, and for most of our lifetimes, the NCAA had a stranglehold on what was previously known as a student athlete.” But that term could become a relic of the past. “The prospects for the NCAA do not look good. There’s at least one case out there that may very well sound the death knell for the NCAA in terms of just massive amounts of liability,” Drew says. --- AccelPro’s interviews and products accelerate your professional development.

    On Managing Leave and Accommodation Requests

    Welcome to AccelPro Employment Law, where we provide expert interviews and coaching to accelerate your professional development. Today we are featuring a discussion with Holly Sutton, the chair of Farella, Braun and Martel’s employment practice.  Sutton walks us through a list of dos and don’ts for effectively managing leave rules and regulations. Perhaps even more important than strictly following guidelines, is a commitment to treating employees fairly — that covers a multitude of mistakes, she says. Sutton encourages companies to create “a feeling like there’s dignity in the workplace.”  “And that’s the golden rule. In all of these different potential landmines that employers can trigger, whether it’s getting the leaves right, going through all the steps of an accommodation or something else, I think that as long as the employee can see that the employer is doing their best and trying to comply, that employer ends up in a much stronger position.” --- AccelPro’s interviews and products accelerate your professional development.

    On Keeping Workplace Investigations Neutral

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit insights.joinaccelpro.com Welcome to AccelPro Employment Law, where we provide expert interviews and coaching to accelerate your professional development. Today we are featuring a discussion with Kate Nearpass about how to keep workplace investigations neutral.  Nearpass, a veteran investigator who recently started her own firm, says neutrality is crucial to building trust into the system and can help avoid further escalation of claims, including litigation. “Employers who want to have a process like this, who have gone through the not-insignificant hurdle of putting together an office or a team of people who will take these complaints in and look at them, really do want to see the workplace improved,” she says. “They want their workplaces to be safe and fair. And they want their employees to trust the process. If there is any actual conduct on the part of the investigators that suggests that they are always going to come out in favor of the employer, for example, nobody’s going to trust the process.” --- AccelPro’s interviews and products accelerate your professional development.
