Management’s Rights

This course teaches that the employment relationship is an enforceable contract wherein management has inherent and enforceable rights. These rights include requiring employees to: attend work on a regular basis, give a fair day’s work, be subordinate, lawful to directives, perform to standards, get along with others and to be loyal to their employer’s lawful business needs. The problem is that the traditional people-oriented style of management has been seriously weakened by 40 years of employee labor and employee rights laws. A performance-oriented model of management based on principles found in contract law, economics and Performance Theory is a more powerful, practical, simpler and enforceable alternative. We are a “How to” company providing answers.

Topics include:

• understanding why management must move away from people management and move towards performance management.
• provide support for the fact that courts and arbiters support the enforcement of management’s rights
• define the “Universal Rights” of management
• design the foundation for a performance­ oriented style of management

Attendees will receive a certificate of training, a class manual and hard copies of model forms and policies to use as resources for implementing this program into their agency. Class size is limited, please register early.
