We provide counseling and training assistance to employers and management personnel and assist employers in all areas of employee relations issues, including employment contracts, confidentiality, non-competition contracts, and voluntary separation agreements. As part of our focus on preventative measures, we advise on corrective action to lessen liability and review and help prepare employee handbooks, policy and procedure manuals, and sexual harassment policies.
