Ground Rules: Employment Law Over Your Coffee Break
The Biggest Mistakes Supervisors Make
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Every supervisor makes mistakes—but some mistakes are far more costly than others.
In this episode of Ground Rules: Employment Law Over Your Coffee Break, Pam Howland, Jennifer Walrath, Doug Plass, and special guest Megan Renaldo of Renaldo & Co. compare notes on the leadership and compliance issues they see most often when working with employers.
Together, they discuss:
- Why waiting too long to address performance problems creates bigger issues
- The importance of documentation that actually supports employment decisions
- Why supervisors need to know their organization's policies—not just HR
- Common ADA, accommodation, and compliance mistakes that lead to legal claims
- How poor communication and unclear expectations impact both team performance and legal risk
- Why better hiring starts with better job descriptions
Whether you're a supervisor, HR professional, or business leader, this episode offers practical strategies to build stronger leaders, improve team performance, and reduce employment law risk—all before problems end up in the courtroom.
