Duration : 60 Minutes

 REGISTER NOW !

Description : 

It only takes one disgruntled employee to file a complaint of unfair labor practices to incite a full blown investigation by the IRS, DOL, EEOC, ect. These investigations can interrupt you business as well as be time-consuming and very expensive. Are you prepared? By conducting your own HR Audit, you may avoid litigation and non-compliance fines. An HR Audit can also provide an objective look at the company’s human resources policies, practices, procedures, programs, and strategies to help not only protect the company from litigation and fines; it can establish best practices, identify opportunities for improvement, and evaluate outsourcing options. HR Audits can ensure effective utilization of HR resources and improve customer service, which in turn can increase revenue.

HR Audits can help the company become more efficient as well as save money, reduce productivity time, and cut costs. HR Audits can also help companies avoid non-compliance fees and government audits/intervention, such as Wage and Hour, EEOC, Unemployment, Workers Compensation, Immigration Services, Lawyers, etc.

Speaker Profile
Vanessa G. Nelson, MSA, SPHR, CLRL is founder and President of award-winning Expert Human Resources, which she founded to help companies maintain legal compliance, avoid workplace litigation, reduce costs, increase revenue and competitiveness.

Vanessa established Expert Human Resources in 2009, after observing companies' frustrations with complying with constantly changing employment laws as well as continually dealing with workplace litigations and fines. Vanessa realized that a lot of the litigious situations that businesses encountered could be avoided by their being proactive and implementing updated polices and applying them correctly. Vanessa also recognized that many companies could not afford a full-time HR person, or department, to assist in maintaining compliance with employment laws, as well as applying policies and practices correctly; therefore she established a "portable HR" to accommodate those businesses.

Vanessa is a results-oriented HR Consultant with a unique background in business management, spanning over 29 years at Hurley Medical Center and Sparrow Health Systems. Her expertise includes: HR audits, labor relations, employment laws, employee relations, workplace investigations, and policies and procedures. Additionally, Ms. Nelson has implemented processes to improve conflict management and employee relations; conducted harassment training to improve company efficiencies, worked with multiple unions to produce positive outcomes, and has recruited dozens of talented employees. She is mobile and able to quickly interpret and apply policies fairly and consistently.

Ms. Nelson received her Master of Science in Administration/Human Resources Management from Central Michigan University, and a Bachelor in Business Management from Northwood University. She holds the Certified Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) credential from Human Resources Certification Institute, Certified Labor Relations Leader (CLRL) from Michigan State University, and is Six Sigma White Belt certified.

Vanessa has conducted multiple seminars including: Lawsuits Waiting to Happen, Human Resources and Employment Law Updates, How to Conduct Effective Investigations, and FMLA.
