Employment
The journey to find, train, manage, and develop talent—and eventually part ways—involves a long and sometimes complicated road, and an ever-changing legal landscape. Businesses must establish effective human resources management strategies that avoid the costs and disruption of litigation, lengthy government investigations, and other outside party intervention with their business operations. At the same time, businesses must be poised to identify and attract the best talent, maintain and grow their reputations as employers-of-choice, and drive strong engagement and performance from their talent.
