In response to the significant increase in COVID-19 cases, the York SHRM Board has decided to hold meetings again via Zoom only, until further notice.
Agenda:
7:30 – 8:00am Announcements
8:00 – 9:00am Presentation
Topic: Difficult Performance Conversations
Every HR professional or other executive has had to have, at times, a difficult conversation with an employee about his or her performance. Sometimes, it is in the context of a performance appraisal. Other times, it may be a final warning. Regardless of the context, careful planning is necessary. Otherwise, wrong things often are said or done that may result in a difficult lawsuit to defend. This zoom presentation provides 19 guardrails to minimize the legal risk and maximize the business benefits of difficult but necessary conversations about performance. Common traps in the absence of bad intent are emphasized.

For the past two years, Jonathan’s primary work has involved COVID. He delivered a webinar on the topic in early February 2020, one of the first, if not the first, in the country. More recently, Jonathan’s practice relative to COVID involves vaccines. He has written and spoken extensively for, among others, SHRM and Bloomberg.

Chambers said of Jonathan, “He is described by a client as ‘the king of making legal answers work in a business context.’ Another client wrote: “If Superman wore pinstripes, his name would be Jonathan Segal.”
Jonathan was by the EEOC to its Select Task Force on Harassment and continues to provide training on behalf of the EEOC on myriad topics to HR professionals and other business leaders, including during the pandemic.
Jonathan has published more than 400 articles or blogs on third-party platforms, such as Bloomberg, Fortune, Entrepreneur and, of course, SHRM.
