She provided an in-depth look at supervision issues that arise throughout the employee lifecycle including pre-hire, hiring, onboarding, ongoing management/supervision, and termination. She also explored how employers should handle religious, pregnancy and disability accommodations, drug and alcohol policies, employee complaints, wage/hour issues, and the concept of progressive discipline.
