Well, here’s the deal. I became lawyer because I wanted to help people. Lawsuits really don’t help that much. So, things that help are ways to avoid lawsuits. So, all of our training is a focus on three things: How do you avoid getting in trouble? How do you enhance performance? And how do you increase morale? Those last two are related. So, we help folks with how to avoid harassment and discrimination in the workplace. We help folks with how do you optimally performance manage someone? That includes how do you have clear communication? How do you set expectations in a way that they’re understood? How do you discipline? What are good methods for dealing with difficult employees? And what are effective ways to communicate about reasonable accommodation? Leave, things of that nature.
Minneapolis and St. Cloud employment law attorney Sheila Engelmeier discusses how helping employers generate a thriving workplace is her goal with training. She shared that she became a lawyer because she wanted to help people and believes that preventing legal disputes is often more beneficial than resolving them through lawsuits. She explained that this philosophy guides the firm’s training programs, which focus on three primary goals: helping organizations avoid legal problems, improving employee performance, and increasing workplace morale. According to her, enhancing performance and boosting morale are closely connected.
She noted that the firm’s training covers practical strategies for preventing workplace harassment and discrimination while promoting effective performance management. She emphasized the importance of clear communication, setting understandable expectations, administering discipline appropriately, managing difficult employees effectively, and communicating about reasonable accommodations and employee leave. According to her, these approaches help organizations build respectful, productive, and legally compliant workplaces.
