May 1, 2018 – Risk Management Basics
11 a.m. PST (60 minutes)
Risk is anything that can derail your nonprofit from accomplishing its mission. Risk management is a discipline for identifying risk, assessing how serious or severe the risks are, and determining ways to avoid or minimize harm and financial loss. Risk management is not some mystery. Enlightened risk taking requires awareness of the potential downsides of a new approach or program, thoughtful planning for positive outcomes, and simultaneously ensuring that there is as soft a landing as possible when a venture doesn’t work out as planned. Our Loss Control Manager will provide some simple frameworks for organizing and implementing basic risk management practices in a nonprofit organization; share the most common risks facing nonprofits based on nearly 30 years of claims history; look at some specific areas of risk and what you can and should be doing to minimize your exposure.

May 8, 2018 – Accommodating Mental Health in the Workplace

Did you know that depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and anxiety disorder are classified as mental illnesses?

Employers have the same duty to engage in the interactive process with employees with mental disabilities as they do with employees who have physical disabilities, with the ultimate goal of determining accommodations that will allow employees to perform the essential functions of their jobs. This webinar will explore the recent EEOC guidance and examine the issues involved in accommodating employees with mental health disabilities, so that employers can successfully support them in the workplace.
