In his session Let’s Play Employment: Hiring, Discipline, and Discharge…and Avoiding Employee Lawsuits David Cohen explores the areas of risk and potential liabilities that exist in hiring, disciplining, and firing employees. Since most employers are not trying to harm their employees — but make simple mistakes that can lead to lawsuits — Cohen described solutions for avoiding problematic circumstances in the first place.

By creating a lively forum to explain to employers easy techniques for eliminating the chances of being sued, Cohen demonstrated a path to success: understand your goal; ensure you create a cohesive and integrated system in hiring, disciplining and terminating employees; and perform those processes from a non-subordinate position.
