Too often individuals are promoted to or hired into managerial positions, with little or no training as to how to manage people or basic information of the laws and policies they are expected to follow. This can wreak havoc in a workplace and have devastating effects on the bottom line as employees leave, misbehave, or land their employers in court. Richwood recognizes the identifiable link between how employees are treated and organizational success.
Richwood provides training programs that educate employees about laws they are expected to follow, company policy, and optimum workplace conduct. Programs are not boilerplate, but are customized to each organization’s industry, and specific concerns. Sessions are interactive, lively and filled with humor. Programs include, but are not limited to:

By the end of the program, participants are made aware of applicable laws, their company policy and procedures for reporting complaints as well as suggestions on ways to intervene if they experience or witness harassment.
