When Elise’s corrosive behavior was finally addressed and her bullying ceased, everyone thought that was the end of the story. The employees under her supervision collectively breathed a sigh of relief and thought that they would be able to return to their normal lives. Management thought so too.

Back in the 1950s and ‘60s, most families would plan an annual family vacation that would last a week or ten days or even longer. My family was part of the norm, although, many times the trip planning revolved around a location where my Dad attended an annual convention as a part of his work.

Perhaps a terminated employee caused problems to co-workers, was an under-performer, violated company policies or all of the above. Although, terminations generally are stressful and unpleasant experiences for all, employers hope that this change will eliminate problems.

A large man, with a white beard and red suit, had visited all on 24, December (2014) evening. In honor of Christmas, I want to write about some of Santa’s business lessons, which I have adapted from an article in the Houston Business Journal, entitled “10 Valuable Business Lessons from Santa” by Harvey Mackay. They are adapted for a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) or compliance practitioner.

“Large, reputable third parties do not need vetting.” Numerous high-profile cases in recent years have centered around companies’ blind reliance on third parties who, unbeknownst to the companies, have engaged in bribery and corruption. Yet, the FCPA makes clear that companies are ultimately responsible for the illegal acts committed by third parties on their behalf. These cases show unequivocally that ignorance is no defense and that third-party due diligence is absolutely required.

On December 3, 2014, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced a new rule for covered federal contractors (generally any company with $10,000 or more in federal contracts over a 12-month period) prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The rule implements Executive Order (EO) 13672, signed by President Obama in July, which tasked the DOL with updating the rules implementing EO 11246 to add gender identity and sexual orientation to the classes it protects. EO 11246 prohibits covered federal contractors (and subcontractors) from discriminating an employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and requires those contractors to take affirmative action to ensure equal opportunity is provided in all aspects of their employment.

This article presents estimates of frontline worker demand in key occupations, offering alternative projections to illustrate the possible range of workers needed. It also notes the factors that could shift demand for workers in one direction or another. It does not offer original projections or analysis of workforce demand, which are beyond the scope of this paper. Even as technologies such as telemedicine and robotic surgery evolve, caregiving remains a labor intensive, face-to-face activity, especially for an aging population.

On December 12, 2014, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) gave employers facing union organizing a blow by adopting the controversial “quickie election” rule. The rule amends the pre-election procedures and processes for conducting a representation election to determine if employees want to be represented by a union. The new rule creates favorable conditions for union organizing, accelerates representation elections, and hampers employers’ legitimate efforts to educate its employees about union representation.
