Compliance and Ethical Leadership

Strengthen ethical leadership practices by aligning workplace communication, investigation response, and employee engagement strategies with federal labor law standards and NLRB precedent.

About the Course

This live virtual training is designed for HR professionals and operational leaders who need a practical, legally grounded understanding of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and its impact on workplace decision-making. Participants will examine employee rights under Section 7, employer restrictions under Section 8, and the mechanics of union authorization cards and NLRB representation elections. The session integrates compliance fundamentals with real-world HR application, equipping attendees to navigate organizing activity, protected concerted conduct, and supervisor communication risks with confidence. Rather than a purely academic overview, this program focuses on actionable insight — helping HR leaders reduce exposure, strengthen lawful communication practices, and proactively support a resilient employee relations culture.
