THE ART (AND SCIENCE) OF HR: A Legal Guide for New Managers, CEOs and Leaders in Between
So much has changed in the past five years. Employees are in the driver’s seat now. How
they experience your workplace can make or break you. This reality, coupled with ever-more-
complex workforce issues, means your risk of making costly mistakes is higher than ever.
Creating the right kind of culture—one that keeps employees engaged, builds trust, creates
belonging, and, frankly, makes them less litigious—is crucial.
To create such a culture, leaders need training, and that includes training on HR issues.
Therein lies the problem. Employment attorney Amie Remington says few leaders get this
kind of training. That’s why she’s created this readable, to-the-point resource for keeping your
employees engaged and your company out of trouble. For example, you’ll learn:
• Common mistakes even well-meaning leaders make that could land them in hot water
• Tips and tactics for creating psychologically and physically safe working conditions
• Why generosity and fair pay are expressions of gratitude (and how they help
your company thrive)
• How to handle those talented “producers” who display bad behavior
• The unwritten rules of social media (for example, why friending an employee
can have disastrous consequences)
• How to capitalize on employees’ talents and strengths to create efficiencies,
reduce turnover, and improve retention
• Tips for avoiding landmines in sensitive areas like sexual harassment,
microaggressions, politics, religion, and more
• Guidelines for navigating the maze of state and federal laws governing
workplaces to ensure compliance and reduce risk
The Art (and Science) of HR is written for new and seasoned leaders at every level. Filled
with tips and tactics, sprinkled with compelling stories, and rounded out with helpful resources
for further reading, it’s a “must-have” for any company seeking to thrive in a rapidly changing
world.
