A practical IAML program for frontline managers and supervisors who need better habits for complaints, documentation, discipline, retaliation awareness, and knowing when to involve HR.
Employment law issues rarely arrive labeled as legal issues. They show up as performance concerns, attendance problems, uncomfortable conversations, informal complaints, scheduling decisions, workplace conflict, or quick questions from employees.
This 4-hour live virtual or on-site IAML program is built for frontline managers, supervisors, department heads, and operations leaders. It teaches practical first-response habits for complaints, documentation, discipline, retaliation, harassment, discrimination, leave/accommodation signals, and when to involve HR.
Managers learn to notice complaint, retaliation, harassment, discrimination, leave, accommodation, and documentation signals earlier.
Participants learn how vague, emotional, inconsistent, or after-the-fact notes can create avoidable HR problems.
The program gives managers practical escalation habits so they do not improvise through sensitive employee issues.
The training is organized around common manager moments: an employee raises a concern, performance slips, discipline is considered, leave or accommodation signals appear, or conflict needs a careful first response.
What to say, what not to promise, what to document, and when to bring HR into the conversation.
Handle the first conversation without minimizing the concern or overpromising a result.
Why timing, tone, assignments, follow-up, and discipline decisions matter after an employee raises a concern.
Recognize when an ordinary management action may look different because of what happened first.
How to make performance documentation more factual, consistent, and useful for HR review.
Write clearer records that support sound decisions instead of creating new problems.
How to recognize conduct or comments that may require HR attention even when raised informally.
Identify the moments when a manager should stop handling an issue alone.
How attendance, medical, schedule, and performance conversations can trigger HR obligations.
Know when employee comments or requests should be escalated for HR review.
What managers should preserve, who they should notify, and what they should avoid doing once an issue may require investigation.
Protect the process before facts are lost, reshaped, or discussed too widely.
The program is designed for people managers and supervisors who need practical guidance, not legal theory, on how to handle workplace issues consistently and when to involve HR.
People who hear employee concerns first and make day-to-day performance decisions.
Leaders responsible for consistency across teams, shifts, and locations.
HRBPs and employee relations leaders who want managers using clearer first-response and escalation habits.
Use the scheduled live virtual session for individual managers, a team pass for a group, or ask IAML about bringing the program on-site for your organization.
Register for the July 29 live virtual session, reserve a team pass for a group, or request on-site delivery for a private manager group.

For one manager, supervisor, HRBP, or operations leader attending the scheduled live virtual session.
For organizations sending a manager group to the same live virtual session.
For teams that need to add more managers beyond the team pass.
Participants receive an IAML certificate of completion. Continuing education credit eligibility can be confirmed with IAML before registration.
Request a short program details packet with tuition, timing, learning objectives, business value, team-pass pricing, HR observer access, and on-site delivery options.
Featured faculty include employment-law practitioners who translate advisory, litigation, compliance, and workplace-policy experience into practical manager guidance.
Real advisory, litigation, compliance, and workplace-policy experience.
Legal concepts translated into documentation, escalation, and day-to-day supervisor guidance.

Get clear answers on audience fit, manager readiness, workplace topics, group attendance, and how this training should be used alongside HR and legal guidance.
The program is designed primarily for frontline managers and supervisors. HR partners may attend or observe when they are supporting a manager group, but the training is written for the people who hear employee concerns first and make day-to-day workplace decisions.
Participants can receive an IAML certificate of completion documenting the 4-hour manager and supervisor training. This is a practical completion credential for internal development records, not a full employment-law certificate program for HR professionals.
Credit eligibility should be confirmed with IAML before registration. The program is designed first for frontline managers and supervisors, not as an HR certification course. HR professionals who attend may be able to use the completion documentation for applicable self-reported professional development where their credential rules allow HR-related training.
No. The program helps managers recognize risk, respond appropriately, and know when to involve HR. They do not need to become employment lawyers.
Topics include complaint response, harassment and discrimination basics, retaliation risk, documentation, discipline, performance conversations, leave and accommodation issue spotting, investigation boundaries, and HR escalation.
Yes. Organizations can send one manager to the live virtual program, reserve seats for multiple managers, or ask about on-site training for a larger private group. Request program details and IAML can help identify the best fit.
No. This is practical educational training. It helps managers recognize workplace issues and know when to involve HR or legal counsel, but it does not replace legal advice for a specific situation.
Yes. HR leaders may observe at no additional cost when their organization sends managers to the live virtual session.
