A #SHRM17 Interview with Michael Johnson, Esq. CEO, Clear Law Institute

by Allan H. WeitzmanOn June 8, 2017 0 comments

As a labor and employment law litigator, the credibility of witnesses is a core subject for my practice. Over the years, we all learn ways to deal with witnesses who are - - or think they are - - good liars. One of my tricks that I use when a good liar is testifying about one of his/her lies is to distract the triers of fact so that they are not looking at his/her face. If I’m successful, they won’t conclude that he/she was being honest just observing facial expressions....

by Allan H. WeitzmanOn June 6, 2017 0 comments

As a longtime believer in the benefits of massage to overall health, I was intrigued to read about SHRM Exhibitor, Massage at Work. Particularly interesting to me was the correlation drawn between massage and the reduction of absenteeism and stress levels at work.

While I’m lucky enough to be able to fit massage within my budget, the concept of bringing massage into the workplace as an employee benefit resonated with me.

Given my interest, interviewing Leo Ranieri, the President of Massage at Work, was a natural fit for my...

How to Get the Most Out of #SHRM17 Even If You Can’t Attend

by Jessica Miller-MerrellOn June 6, 2017 0 comments

We are less than 12 days away from the start of the HR event of the year which is the SHRM Annual Conference held in the Big Easy. I find it appropriate that the conference’s slogan is ‘All in’ which implies that you are truly committed and devoted to the HR profession . ‘All in’ is a slang term often used in poker meaning to be totally committed to something which in our case is the profession of human resources.

All In at the 2017 SHRM Annual Conference in New...

by Sabrina BakerOn May 30, 2017 0 comments

“We spend so much time and talent finding the right person, why not spend as much effort on keeping them?” This is the line that stuck with me the most during my interview with Amy Hirsh Robinson.

I could not agree more.

I like to say that onboarding starts in the recruitment process and lasts through the employees first several months or even year into their employment. Yet,...
