The Civil Workplace, Inc. is a company dedicated to the idea that "prevention is the best medicine." Our goal is to help employers understand and comply with the complex collection of federal, state and local employment laws - and hopefully avoid costly litigation. More than ever before, employers are faced with a confusing array of laws and regulations that govern how business is conducted and how the workforce is managed.

Services offered by the Civil Workplace include:

• In-house seminars and discrimination prevention training specifically tailored to an organization's needs and concerns
• Handbook and policy/procedure manual reviews
• Performance evaluation and review training
• Human resource training re: benefits and COBRA
• Internal investigations and compliance audits
• Qualitative and statistical audits
• A series of educational pamphlets geared toward the human resource professional. Current volumes include the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and Sexual Harassment.

The attorneys who staff The Civil Workplace are frequently asked to speak or write on employment law issues for professional organizations such as the Council on Education in Management, the National Business Institute, the Metropolitan Washington Employment Lawyers Association, and the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association.
