“I just got back from a 3-hour lunch meeting where I reviewed with a
vice president all the changes in our benefits and services policies
that will appear in the next iteration of our
Employee Handbook. I
could speak with knowledge, confidence and authority largely because
of your
Personnel Policy Manual with all of its supporting guidance
and documentation. You are my #1 resource when it comes to
policies.
Keep up the good work!”

No Surprise: Potential Jurors
Don't Trust Employers
|
Here’s news that employers may not
want to hear, but definitely should know: a survey revealed
that an overwhelming majority of potential jurors do not trust
corporations. According to the "Third Annual Juror Outlook" survey
conducted by the National Law Journal and DecisionQuest, a jury
research and trial consulting firm, 76% of the 1,000 potential
jurors polled indicated that they either strongly or somewhat
strongly agreed that big companies "often try to cover up the harm
they do." This distrust also was evident in the respondents’
attitudes towards discrimination claims. Over a third of the polled
individuals (37%) agreed that if an employee files a
sex
discrimination claim, "it usually means the person was wronged."
Thirty-six percent felt the same way about race discrimination
claims.

The lack of trust also may
translate into higher legal damage awards against employers. Thirty
percent of the respondents thought that billion-dollar awards are
necessary to send "an effective message" to the offending employer.
Interestingly, younger potential jurors (those between 18 and 24
years of age) were more inclined than older ones to send a
billion-dollar message. Copies of the survey are available for
$99.00 from DecisionQuest, 2050 West 190th Street, Torrance, CA
90504, www.decisionquest.com/site/survey.htm.
[Creating HR Policies or Employee Handbook?]
Of course, this survey really
confirms what management attorneys have known for years--jurors are
typically employees, or former employees, and therefore are more
inclined to sympathize with the suing employee, not the employer.
Thus, your best defense is to stay out of court, especially as a
defendant in a jury trial. Effective
anti-harassment and
discrimination policies and training for all employees are good
first steps in preventing these claims. |
