FMI Construction Executive: 4 Day, In Person Training 3/29/2022 - 4/1/2022

Tue, 14 Dec 2021 16:37:01 GMT

Bad business decisions can be costly and reverberate through your organization. Many owners and executives have decades of knowledge and experience upon which they base their decisions, but that experience is difficult to pass on to the next generation of business leaders.

In our four-day, experienced-based Construction Executive Institute, we work with you and your leaders to rapidly build the knowledge and experience necessary to understand your business challenges and apply the lessons learned to the bottom line.

This senior-level, immersion experience is built around four core themes:

Developing and maintaing profitable, long-term business success through strategy, planning and adaptation.
Identifying, evaluating and mitigating enterprise risks.
Understanding and mastering financial controls of your business.
Bidding and preparing for profitable projects.

Participants work together to launch and build their companies to produce the highest return on investment. Operating in a competitive construction marketplace, each team must identify and employ a strategy to win profitable work and employ its resources to outperform competing companies. Learn to run a profitable business through a dynamic business environment over time and gain the experience you need to become an industry leader.

Who Should Attend

Business unit managers
Current or future C-suite leaders
General superintendents or field supervisors
Senior or advanced project managers
Operations managers or operations officers
Construction managers and division managers

Benefits

Improve your ability to evaluate and promote outstanding performance, leading to more effective controls and higher margins.
Expand your business acumen with the skills needed to run your business more effectively.
Enhance your confidence to make timely business decisions based on comprehensive strategies.
Leverage your contribution and value by increasing your understanding of financial statements and how to effectively interpret and communicate their meanings.

California Privacy Rights Act for Employers: A Webinar Series from Littler 4/14/2022 11:00 AM - 4/14/2022 12:30 PM

Wed, 06 Apr 2022 10:32:38 GMT

In case you missed Littler's first CPRA webinar, Littler has begun a webinar series to prepare for the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which comes into effect on January 1, 2023. In their first webinar on February 3rd, "Time to Get Ready! Key Steps for Employers to Address Compliance with the California Privacy Rights Act," they provided an overview of the CPRA. You can find that webinar recording link below. Stay tuned with Littler throughout the year as they keep you updated on the new law, what to expect, and how to prepare.

In their next webinar, Littler’s privacy practitioners will discuss compliance steps that HR professionals and employment counsel should take now. Although final details on implementation of the CPRA may not be clear until the regulations issue later this year, employers can and should begin the process to comply with this demanding law. This webinar will cover project planning, vendor contracting, data retention, and data security. Project planning will include a discussion of how to scope the project, fact-finding, and developing a team. With respect to contracting, panelists will discuss the nature of CPRA contracts and how to create a workable campaign to bring vendors into compliance. Finally, the webinar will cover implementing or updating data retention schedules and data security programs to reduce risk under the CPRA’s private right of action for data breaches and to comply with the CPRA’s notice requirements. After this webinar, attendees should have the knowledge necessary to start their organization down the path to CPRA compliance.

NEW FOR '22! A Legal Update of New California Legislation - An Overview of Key 2022 Employment Laws: A Webinar Series from Littler 4/20/2022 9:00 AM - 4/20/2022 10:30 AM

Wed, 06 Apr 2022 10:48:58 GMT

Last year was a blur for many, with continued shutdowns, the arrival of vaccines, and OSHA and state regulations coming into play. And then came 2022, with lawsuits questioning whether those regulations could even be enforced, rapid court rulings, offices and plants reopening, variants creeping up and differing rules on masking. In other words, we've been living COVID in the workplace for the past two years, and it's been exhausting. But, not too exhausting for the California Legislature to craft new legislation that started to impact employers at the beginning of the year. While we seem to be at a point where we can take a short breather from all things COVID, it's time to take a look at these laws and how they are affecting employers.
