Michael Maslanka has a thoughtful article on Law.com setting out 10 steps GC’s can take to reduce risk, disputes and hopefully costs in labour and employment – summary:
- Nothing valuable is lost by taking time.
- Pre-emptive firings are the best firings.
- Renew the vows.
- Think proportionately.
- Train to communicate.
- A few good policies.
- E-mail makes cowards of us all.
- If you say it’s important, treat it as important.
- It’s not personal.
- It’s about the individual.
This is based on US law, but many of the observations are quite applicable to Ontario. (Hopefully fellow blogger Michael Fitzgibbon at Thoughts From a Management Lawyer will weigh in with some observations on that point).
