1) Consider the employment laws from a broad perspective.....this isn't a matter of just choosing to focus on one or two laws that you want to address, this is about a developing a comprehensive managerial training that is designed to ensure that managers are aware of relevant employment laws - to protect themselves and the company. So, a best practice here is to think about how a manager interacts with a group of employees....what situations would they encounter that could have the potential for employment laws to apply. *Hint: Think about applicable laws in each of the following categories: Equal Employment, Health/Safety, Compensation/Benefits, and Employee/Labor Relations.

2) Don't forget about the "managerial expectations".....these should be specific to the various laws and should provide managers with guidance on how to deal with these different situations involving the potential legal employment issues.
