Protecting Against Employee Lawsuits

What is the best way to protect against employee lawsuits?

We recently received an inquiry about the best ways for businesses to protect against employee lawsuits. We’ve found that most employee lawsuits occur due to low morale, unaddressed personality conflicts, disparate productivity between employees and/or failure to give effective performance reviews. Of course, it is always important to have effective, well-drafted legal documents and policies that clearly delineate employee rights and obligations from the outset, which will help your business win lawsuits . However, the easiest way to protect your business from lawsuits is by preventing them in the first place. This means ensuring a good working environment, keeping employees happy, and giving employees recourse to deal with the issues that come up in the workplace, ideally through a dedicated and effective HR representative.
