Training and Counseling

Elarbee Thompson has an excellent reputation for providing professional, thorough and informative training in all types of employment law training. We pride ourselves on designing and conducting programs that are non-legalistic, interactive and fun sessions designed to promote practical learning exercises.

Many clients ask us to train their management teams on specific topics while other clients seek more comprehensive sessions that provide both updates and overviews of critical topics.

Among the topics on which we offer training are the following:

• Harassment Avoidance
• Maintaining Union-Free Status
• FMLA Compliance
• Effective Employee Documentation
• Understanding the new Fair Labor Standards Act changes
• Navigating the ADA/FMLA/Workers Compensation Triangle
• Risk Management: EPLI/Arbitration 

Just as we share knowledge internally that allows us to avoid “reinventing the wheel” when we defend clients, Elarbee Thompson maintains a wide array of training modules that can be customized for clients in a way that allows us to offer training solutions that are very cost effective.
