Manager's Training Module

Decades of real-world business experience—backed by credible research—shows that companies perform better when their employees come from different backgrounds and bring varying perspectives and skills to their work. That’s why so many employers have invested heavily in diversity, equity and inclusion programs—so-called DEI.

However, DEI has prompted backlash, with some arguing that it has led to a quota system that gives minority job applicants and employees an unfair advantage over traditional majority-group applicants and employees. This has increased the legal risk employers face.

This training is intended to help managers understand how to hire new employees without increasing legal liability due to unintentional discrimination.

This training is intended to present information from a management point of view, not to express any political view.

Chances are, your organization employs someone who works not just for you, but also for Uncle Sam as a member of one of the uniformed services. Their frequent absences for training or deployment can create problems for civilian employers. In some cases, employers have balked at hiring applicants who are military-connected or have other service obligations.
To stop discrimination and open civilian employment for those wanting to serve their country on a full- or part-time basis, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act became law in 1994. This training module will help you explain what USERRA requires of managers and supervisors.
