Managers Beware: Tips to Prevent Liability under the ADA
Bob's been out on FMLA for 12 weeks. 12 weeks his job has been kept open and now with one employee short for 12 weeks he calls and says he can’t come back to work yet. Enough is enough, if he does not come back tomorrow, he's fired. No problem right? WRONG! FMLA is only the first issue when an employee is out on leave.

Risks in Executive Coaching and How to Minimize Them
Executive coaching is an increasingly popular method of assessing and developing high performing and high potential leaders. When coaching is provided in the right way, at the right time, by the right coach, to the right leader, the return on investment in coaching can be very high.
