How do you train reluctant line managers in HR without their bolting from the room? Keep it short and need-to-know, using a training program built that way.
Yesterday’s Daily Advisor went on at length on what your managers need to know to discipline problem employees in ways that keep your company out of legal trouble.
As we’re sure you’ve observed, managers are not born with such knowledge. And left to their own devices, many would likely show they are experts at production, marketing, or other useful skills, but not human resources. Yet it’s probable that HR actions are among the most likely reasons your company would face a distracting and destructive lawsuit.
The answer: HR training for managers.
The problem: time.
Neither you nor your managers likely have the hours it can take to teach and learn the essence of laws like Title VII, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards and Americans with Disabilities Acts, not to mention a whole range of best practices in employee hiring, retention, and performance management. This dilemma has led several HR publishers to come up with quick-train products to teach line managers the basics of the craft. BLR’s is called the 10-Minute HR Trainer. We believe it’s the best of the bunch, by far. Some reasons:
–Trains in 50 HR Key Topics, including manager and supervisor responsibilities under all the major employment laws, and how best to carry out managerial actions from hiring to legal termination. For a complete list of topics covered, click here.
–Uses the same teaching sequence master teachers use.
Every lesson includes an overview, bullet-pointed key lessons, an immediate quiz to test understanding, and a handout to reinforce the learning later.–Completely prewritten and self-contained. Each unit is set up as a group of reproducibles. Just make copies of the materials or turn them into overheads and you’re done. No research, no writing, no other preparation needed.

–Updated continually. As laws and practices change, your training needs do as well. The 10-Minute HR Trainer program provides new lessons and updated information every 90 days, along with a monthly Training Forum newsletter, all at no extra cost.
–Teaches in as little as 10 minutes! Each lesson is so concisely written and so focused on the key information needed that there’s not a second’s waste of time. Your managers are in and out almost before they can look at their watches, the door, their watches.…
