<p></p>
<p>The US business environment as well as those of other countries have experienced over the years significant risk events with significant negative risk consequences. In recent times there have been a plethora of risk episodes in the corporate world.</p>
<p>Many of these episodes could have been avoided or modified if the entities experiencing the risk episode had in place sound risk management practices. This presentation starts with a review of a risk management thought framework that supports the effective risk management standards that an entity should maintain.</p>
<p>It then places this risk management framework in a real-world context by examining actual risk episodes that were experienced due to the absence of sound risk management practices. The absent practices will be discussed in detail in the review of each case. In addition, the roles of an entity's Risk Management and Compliance functions will be brought out in each review.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Risk management education is typically provided via textbooks and classroom presentations, but education in these forms remain pretty much as theory to the learner. However, the use of Risk Management case studies as an educational vehicle provides an immediate understanding of risk management practices in the real world and takes them from being theory to being practical management tools. In addition, the identification of the severe consequences that resulted from a risk event will reinforce the value of having sound risk management practices.</p>
<p>This presentation displays nine real-life case studies each of which will define the risk event experienced, the background to the event, the negative consequences the event generated, the underlying risk conditions and causes that lead to the event and the risk management preventives that were absent.</p>
<p>The case studies collectively will aid in understanding the need for appropriate risk management policies, procedures and practices as well as serve as a blueprint for the employment of an organization’s Risk Management and Compliance functions. Lastly, it will address the concept of risk metrics.</p>
<p>Participants will not only find the case studies to be highly educational, but also extremely interesting pieces of corporate history.</p>

<p>How the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Works.</p>

<p>How the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Works.</p>
<p>The FDCPA does not protect debtors from those who are attempting to collect a personal debt. If you owe money to the local hardware store, for example, and the owner of the store calls you to collect that debt, he is not a debt collector under the terms of this act. FDCPA only applies to third-party debt collectors, such as those who work for a debt collection agency. The law covers credit card debt, medical bills, student loans, mortgages, and other household debt.</p>
<p>The Act prohibits certain types of "abusive and deceptive" conduct when attempting to collect debts including the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hours for phone contact: contacting consumers by telephone outside of the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time. Additionally, if certain hours are inconvenient for consumers during the allowable time (those who work at night and sleep during the day) they may not be contacted during those times</li>
<li>Failure to cease communication upon request: communicating with consumers in any way (other than litigation) after receiving written notice that said consumer wishes no further communication or refuses to pay the alleged debt, with certain exceptions, including advising that collection efforts are being terminated or that the collector intends to file a lawsuit or pursue other remedies where permitted</li>
<li>Causing a telephone to ring or engaging any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously: with intent to annoy, abuse, or harass any person at the called number.</li>
</ul>
<p>Required conduct</p>
<p>The Act requires debt collectors to do the following (among other requirements):</p>
<ul>
<li>Identify themselves and notify the consumer, in every communication, that the communication is from a debt collector, and in the initial communication that any information obtained will be used to effect collection of the debt</li>
<li>Give the name and address of the original creditor (company to which the debt was originally payable) upon the consumer's written request made within 30 days of receipt of the §1692g notice</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>We will be discussing the do's and don'ts of collections thereby assuring that collectors and collection management teams are best prepared to achieve their goals in safe and sound ways.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Collections practices have always been an integral part of financial services. There are many regulations impacting practices, policies and procedures. Consumer advocates, as well as governmental staff are constantly adjusting those regulations, in order to ensure fairness and sensitive treatment of clients. This means that it is imperative that we stay abreast of changes, not only in policies and regulations, but also in the social conscience.</p>
<p>So if you are concerned about what can and cannot be done when trying to collect moneys owed this webinar is for you. If you are planning on changing processes, policies or procedures or simply require just an update about the temperature of collection activity today, then you should plan on attending this webinar.</p>

<p><span>Communicating and enforcing dress code policies are essential. Learning to set and manage policies by working directly with internal managers, business partners and executives in handling issues such as inappropriate or provocative dress, unhygienic employees is important, as well as identify and mitigating any legal issues.(protected class considerations, working with the legal department, and working with employee requests for accommodations).</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>HR, which is frequently responsible for policy development, must work with other parts of the organization to ensure that dress codes are managed consistently and fairly.Dress and appearance policies now require organizations to develop strategies that align with employer goals and culture while protecting the employer from discrimination claims and protecting employees' rights.</p>
<p>This course will cover the business of dress and appearance requirements for HR or managers.</p>
<p>Implementing an easy-to-understand dress code can prevent problems from occurring and ensure your entire staff dresses consistently.</p>

<p>Do you say "yes" at work when you would rather say "no?" Are you concerned with what others will think of you? In this essential webinar, you'll learn how effective you are at boundary-setting and why it can be hard for good people to say "no."</p>
<p>You'll find out how poor boundary-setting can lead to feeling fed up, overworked and resentful to the point of depression and illness.</p>
<p>You'll discover how good boundaries can protect you from being manipulated, used or violated by others. Finally, you'll learn keys to establish boundaries in a range of typical work situations.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Not setting healthy boundaries can impact your level of job performance and career success on an extreme level. When you don't have healthy boundaries, you may find yourself with much more work than you can handle, too many responsibilities and work that isn't even your job to do.</p>
<p>At a time when organizations are feeling pressured to produce more with less, employees at finding themselves pushed beyond measure, sometimes performing the work of 2-3 employees. This can happen when employees are fearful of saying "no," thinking their job will be on the line if they don't say "yes."</p>

<p>We'll begin by showing you how and why you should begin every presentation with an outline. The outline then becomes the framework of the presentation itself. Then we cover how to create and apply Microsoft Themes to get the precise look and feel that represents your organization's identity.</p>

<p>We'll begin by showing you how and why you should begin every presentation with an outline. The outline then becomes the framework of the presentation itself. Then we cover how to create and apply Microsoft Themes to get the precise look and feel that represents your organization's identity.</p>
<p>You'll see how to take your current company presentation template and turn it into a theme that can be repurposed all throughout Microsoft Office.</p>
<p>You will finally understand how to leverage the Slide Master to create multiple slide layouts that are consistent from presentation to presentation. With a firm grasp of Slide Masters, the days of tweaking individual slides for formatting will finally be over.</p>
<p>From there we discuss how to enhance and add content to get your ideas across as optimally as possible, why bullet points aren't always the best idea, and how to apply animation purposefully. Finally we look at how to deal with specific types of content like photos, charts, and diagrams.</p>
<p></p>
<p>PowerPoint is the tool business professionals use most often. But, most people are not using it optimally, the way it was intended. So, the average presentation can take hour upon frustrating hour to put together. As an international speaker and trainer, presentation media is my stock in trade.</p>
<p>With over 60 presentations to do a year, I want to work the most efficiently I can. Whether you do 6 or 60, so do you! Your time and talent are valuable! So, why would you waste any of it fighting the application to get across your ideas effectively? Not only will the methods shown to you in this program potentially cut the time it takes to craft an impactful presentation by more than half, it will also reduce the frustration to almost nothing!</p>

<p>Power Query is a tool designed for Excel to handle repetitious steps specifically tied to data prep. We all know the drudgery of removing columns, shifting rows, correcting data formats all before we can actually do the work with the data!</p>
<p>The old alternative was to use macros for this redundant work; but even those were hard to edit and not everyone is comfortable with VBA code.</p>
<p>In this crash course, you will learn how to find Power Query in Excel, load data into it, begin the process of transforming your redundant tasks (one last time!), and then how to Save and Load the Query to Excel to finish your reports.</p>
<p>Take this course and benefit from Andy Lanning's 20+ years of experience. At the finish, you will realize how hard you have worked without Power Query helping you through your data prep, and soon rejoice at your new-found time savings!</p>
<p></p>
<p>When the daunting task of 'cleaning up data' comes across your desk, are you using the amazing features of Excel's Power Query?<br/>It is surprisingly common to find oneself repeating a process daily or weekly simply because we didn't know there was a better way. This is true with prepping data for Excel.</p>
<p>Attend this webinar for a crash course in Power Query and you'll be amazed at the time you save by no longer redundantly cleaning data.</p>

<p>It will cover filing due dates including the accelerated due dates for 1099-MISC Forms with an entry in box 7, and the safe harbor requirements for de minimis dollar amount errors. It will cover penalty provisions due diligence procedures, and exceptions to penalties including reasonable cause, common errors, and correction of errors.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The IRS is actively targeting enforcement measures on accounts payable operations. Penalties for non-compliance are now indexed and increase each year. It is more important than ever that 1099 Forms be prepared correctly, filed and furnished timely, and that filers perform due diligence procedures to avoid or mitigate penalties.</p>
<p>In order to stay compliant, practitioners must know which form to use to report specific transactions, when forms must be filed or furnished to recipients in order to be on-time, which information to include and how to make sure it is accurate, how and when to make corrections, how to avoid or mitigate errors, whether a particular payee is subject to backup withholding, or transaction reporting, and the due diligence procedures that shield an issuer from penalties even when the forms contain incorrect information</p>

<li>How recently they used it</li>
<li>The safety aspects of their job</li>
<li>The company's policy on marijuana use</li>
</ul>
<p>In this training, Don will summarize the challenges faced by employers in managing employee marijuana use, explain the law addressing this subject, describe relevant marijuana testing devices, and analyze recent court cases. He'll finish with a few words of advice for the wise.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The impact of marijuana use on the workplace is skyrocketing. State after state legalizes its use, not just for medicinal purposes, but for recreational ones too. At the same time, the Feds haven’t legalized any of its use.</p>
<p>According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), studies suggest specific links between marijuana use and adverse consequences in the workplace, such as the increased risk for injury or accidents. One study among postal workers found that employees who tested positive for marijuana on a pre-employment urine drug test had 55 percent more industrial accidents, 85 percent more injuries, and 75 percent greater absenteeism, compared with those who tested negative for marijuana use.</p>
<p>Not only is legalization a new problem for management, it’s also a new problem for law enforcement and the courts. Defining what it means to be "under the influence" is difficult at best, and there are few accurate measuring methods available. Thankfully that is beginning to change</p>

<p>It is Important for Managers and Supervisors to understand the Importance of Documentation regarded their represented employees. It is critical for them to understand the Impact and depth that Documentation has on multiple areas of the workplace and operation of the business.</p>
<p>One Key area of impact is the Just Cause Standard and how the failure to properly Document will result in the costly loss of Grievances and Arbitration cases.</p>
<p>How Documentation impacts an Employees's Right of Due Process in the day to day operation of your business.</p>
<p>Failure to properly Document impacts the Disciplinary process clearly in the area of consistent treatment of employees. (Example:<br/>Billy, our best Employee punched his boss normally that's Termination but we want to issue a Written warning!)</p>
<p>Documentation is impacted by your Supervisors and Managers Past Practice in the Workplace.(Example: Smoking used to be a Verbal Discussion to File, yesterday we Suspended two employees for Smoking in non designated areas!)</p>
<p>This Workshop will address those main areas and much more to ensure that all members of the management team understand the proper methods, the reasoning for Documentation and the results that can be achieved in the Workplace as well as the costly errors that can be avoided.</p>
<p></p>
<p>We will discuss the" Five W's of Documentation. WHO WE DOCUMENT, WHAT WE DOCUMENT, WHEN WE DOCUMENT WHERE WE DOCUMENT AND TWHY WE DOCUMENT. The overriding goal is DOCUMENT for the continued success of your business NOT to make costly payments to Arbitrators, back pay to Employees, fees or fines to state or federal agencies, as well as Discriminatory agencies and private lawsuits.</p>
<p>A discussion will held covering the Impact of Documentation on Just Cause Standard and how to ensure proper treatment.<br/>There are numerous styles of Documentation: Verbatim or "word for word", Narrative or "create the story", Outline format as an overview, or a fact listing, absent emotions/opinions. The styles of Documentation are listed in order of preference from top to bottom.</p>
<p>We will discuss the formats of Documentation, to include the usage of key language to support the Documentation, what form does Documentation take? Where is it filed? What can the Union have access to during their Grievance investigation or their Attorney in a Discovery process?</p>
<p>We will discuss the Disciplinary process which may consist of Verbal discussion(s), written letters and Suspension(s) and Final warnings leading to termination. The appropriate language need be utilized to effectively create any "verbal discussion" or discipline.</p>
<p>Solely mentioning that an employee is "going down the wrong road" doesn't meet the intent of a documented verbal discussion. Verbal discussions need notify the Employee of his/her violation, what will happen in the immediate future should they fail to maintain satisfactory performance. A verbal discussion absent these above factors is not a Verbal discussion.</p>
<p>We will outline the proper content of Documentation, mention of only relevant facts all too often Supervisors and managers want to indicate the color of an employee's shirt, pants or sunglasses! NOT RELEVANT! Or they want to indicate their<br/>Knowledge WHY the employee did it! Again Not relevant, exclude Emotions and opinions!</p>
<p>Two key areas of discussion will be what does Documentation from a grievance look like? The Union is NOT entitled to any documentation before, during or after an Investigatory Interview, only leading up to or at the Grievance meeting.<br/>Can we ever "combine " Discipline together? What is a Past Practice? How do I change a Past Practice?</p>

It is only through successful transfer of these processes that the pharmaceutical company can ensure that its products are not only of the highest quality, but also get delivered to the patients and meet the business demands of the company. Expectedly, the execution of this transfer is not very simple and straightforward. It involves the interactions and interplay of many disciplines across the organization.</p>
<p>Successful transfer of pharmaceutical products and their processes depends on two factors: the careful development, management, and transfer of technical and business knowledge on the one hand, and the development of steps to define the formal transfer of that knowledge from R&D documents and systems to commercial manufacturing documents and systems, on the other.</p>
