• Prevent discrimination

• Establish a minimum required level for economic support
• Prevent work disruption due to disputes between labor and management

 Best practices to avoid lawsuits on the Regulation of Employment

Communicate open door policy

• A simple way to avoid employment related problems is open and honest communication. Employees should feel comfortable approaching their employer to discuss employment related issues. Clearly articulate performance expectations and give feedback on whether those expectations are being met. Inform about procedures and changes so employees don't get surprised.

Do not ignore problems, discrimination or harassment

• An employer must be vigilant and safety conscious, understanding they have obligation to provide a safe workplace. Follow up on complaints with thorough investigations and appropriate discipline.

Train your employees

• All employees should receive basic training on employment-related issues. Training options are available online and in person. Help improve their skills and make sure they know the policies, expectations of behaviour, and how to address issues.

Invest in an employee handbook

• This includes employment at will, harassment and discrimination provisions. Every employer should invest in an employee handbook. While this might seem like an unnecessary expense, having policies in place that address termination of employment, discrimination and harassment can reduce potential exposure in employment-related matters.

Document everything

• Employment claims often come down to one's word against another's. When an employer maintains detailed documentation created close in time to incidents in question, it's a much stronger defense in any subsequent claims.

Conclusion

Maintaining a healthy relationship is critical for employers. Studies show it can be the key to the success of an organization and it can lead to more productive, efficient, loyal and less conflictive employees.
