Diversity and Inclusion
For decades, diversity and inclusion initiatives have been recognized as important, but perhaps, not the highest priority. Today, forward-thinking organizations that have elevated diversity and inclusion as a priority have experienced reduced attrition resulting in positive financial impact.

Employment Handbooks and Harassment Discrimination Prevention Policies
Employment handbooks and harassment discrimination policies are the “house rules” for any organization and its employees. Federal and state courts, civil rights enforcement agencies, and human resource professionals favor the creation, updating, and distribution of employment handbooks and related policies. Often, however, companies create handbooks, have employees acknowledge receipt, and that’s it. The content and policies included in the handbooks are never addressed again.
Chapman Associates, along with Clark Hill, PLC, our strategic international law firm partner, assists organizations by creating and updating handbooks and policies and training employees on the most commonly referenced provisions. New handbook content may include:

Engaging Today’s Remote Workforce
Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, many employers have adjusted their work policies to accommodate a remote workforce. Initially intended to be a short-term solution to social distancing, employers and employees alike have found working from home to be a positive experience; yet challenges exist. In an effort to create, nurture, and sustain an engaging and positive culture, employers are looking for effective ways to connect, monitor, and mentor employees.
Using remote learning technologies and thought-provoking methodologies, Chapman Associates’ training addresses the employer’s need to maximize a remote workforce’s productivity and effectiveness, and the employee’s quest for an inspirational workplace.

Human Resource Management
Human resource professionals have never been more important and, in some cases, less valued than they are today. Tasked with managing traditional responsibilities such as onboarding and benefits, while simultaneously developing remote workforce policies and COVID-19 inspired communications, HR executives can become overwhelmed and ineffective. To address these challenges, navigate the realities of today’s workplace, and support the success and fulfillment of your HR team, Chapman Associates has developed HR-specific presentations.

Leadership in Action
Organizations frequently establish values and principles to guide their people and processes. However lofty, values and principles that lack leadership action often fall flat. However, when leadership complies, it is common to experience cultures that embrace and apply the values and principles in the way intended.
With years of experience collaborating with well-intentioned leaders, Chapman Associates has developed a methodology that assesses an organization’s values and principles, creates processes for implementation, and identifies strategies for leadership to effectively incorporate into daily practice. Recognizing that each organization is unique, our Leadership in Action training program is custom-developed.
Are you interested in strengthening the impact of your organization’s values and principles? Are you looking for opportunities to enhance your organizational culture?
Legal Compliance
Federal, state, and local laws and regulations govern myriad aspects of the workplace. And, those laws and regulations are enforced by regulators at every level. Violations are subject to expensive administrative and regulatory proceedings, lawsuits, fines, and damage awards. Worse yet, an organization’s reputation in its industry and among its employees can be permanently damaged after years of hard work and investment.
At the same time, workplaces that invest in training to assure legal compliance have proven to be the most productive and effective. Chapman Associates’ training incorporates key compliance concepts by working with employees and managers to understand, identify, and effectively address workplace issues before they become expensive and disruptive legal issues. The training focuses on mastering actions in common situations including hiring, performance management, termination, and harassment, discrimination, and retaliation prevention, as well as data privacy and security, antitrust and anti corruption compliance, and bribery prevention.
