You can use this interviewing training program as a stand-alone class but we recommend that you pair it with our Managing Within the Law training to maximize its potential.

One-on-one sensitivity training for managers is for those who have been accused of harassment or discriminatory remarks, or have issues communicating with their staff and are required by their companies to attend a sensitivity course.

Taught on-site by one of our highly skilled attorney-trainers, our one-on-one sensitivity training includes discussions with your management and Human Resources regarding specific allegations, results of an investigation, so we can tailor this sensitivity training to meet your desired learning objectives.
