Employers learn how to dodge discrimination bullet.
Once again the Anoka County WorkForce Center has shown how important it is to listen to customers. Forty-eight employers learned how to avoid employment discrimination and the process of unemployment insurance hearings and how to prepare for them. Mark Schwartz , MDES Unemployment Compensation judge, and Elaine Hanson, enforcement supervisor, Minnesota Department of Human Rights, were the main speakers. Proper employment applications, interviewing questions and the importance of documentation were topics on the agenda. Preventing employment discrimination and being prepared for unemployment insurance hearings leads to better recruitment and retention of employees, not to mention what it does to the employer's bottom line.
