New Book Provides Guidance for Managing Employment-Related Risk

Online Companion Gives Instant Access to State and Federal Laws on 11 Topics

Organized as a reference book, Taking the High Road  serves as a global positioning system for reducing the risk of employment-related mishaps, disputes, claims and lawsuits that disrupt the flow of mission-related work and threaten a nonprofit's ability to focus all or most of its resources on meeting client or community needs.
   
Throughout this book, the authors refer to a wide range of recommended practices in the employment arena that go beyond what a nonprofit employer is legally required to do. Their goal is to help nonprofit leaders adopt policies and practices that put their organizations on the high road legally and morally.

Chapters address 11 areas of concern for nonprofit policies and procedures, summarizing and referencing the laws that apply to decision making. What makes this book exceptional are the synopses of state-by-state laws pertaining to each chapter's topic.

What makes this book unique is the print version of Taking the High Road  is sold with a companion online counterpart that provides live links to any item in the text identified by a computer mouse icon, making it simple to access the original law with the click of a button.

The advice in this book is drawn from each author's experience advising nonprofits of varying sizes and missions about the many aspects of human resources management and helping them fine-tune their employment policies. They have each delivered hundreds of workshops and presentations on risk management and employment topics to audiences of nonprofit leaders.
