An In-Depth, Interactive Workshop on How to Enforce Rights, Fulfill Responsibilities and Develop Defensible Documentation. Training programs with a legal compliance component are unique, even for experienced trainers. They require both thorough content understanding and an engaging and non threatening approach. To prepare trainers to effectively conduct this legal training, the primary objectives are:

• To reinforce substantive knowledge concerning legal, regulatory and policy requirements governing your work environments. In addition to the knowledge-based training, this objective will be fulfilled by focusing on practical skills trainers need in order to present the workshops for employees and managers entitled I+D = I.P.™ Ten Step System for Engaging in the Interactive Process, and to facilitate interactive learning.


• To develop specific skills for effective content presentation and facilitation of participant interaction in the workshops.


• To develop skills for presenting case descriptions and answering questions involving legal and policy enforcement issues.

Measurable Learning Outcomes
After participating in this workshop, discussing the concepts, and fully participating in interactive skill-building, trainers will be able to:

• Relate their understanding of FEHA legal and policy considerations to their facilitation of the full day underlying workshop.


• Identify the triggers for when their organization is required to engage in the interactive process and impart specific skills for conducting and documenting the process to the individuals they will train.


• Identify the risks for California employers before, during and following the conduct of an interactive process, identify preventative strategies for those risks and develop skills to impart the information to their trainees.


• Identify the risks for California employers when implementing a reasonable accommodation decision and when rejecting a request for an accommodation and describe the application of the organization's policies and procedures and IP Manual to the relevant legal principles.


• Understand and identify the legal and policy responsibilities of managers and supervisors during and following an interactive process.


• Develop facilitation skills to help trainees engage in the interactive process and document that process effectively and appropriately.


• Develop facilitation skills to help trainees develop concrete communication and documentation skills and to use the forms and resources in the IP Manual and other complementary employer policies.


• Lead interactive discussion, facilitate role plays and respond to legal and policy questions during the workshops they conduct.
