Human Resources

What is the most valuable asset at your place of work?  HR’s involvement in respect to risk management is the “people” and efforts to prevent or minimize organizations’ exposure to liability. Managing risk is everyone’s concern on a daily basis and is part of meeting our business goals and objectives. In the area of Human Resources this includes recruitment, staffing, personnel policies, strategies, counseling and laying a foundation to work from. HR overlaps into all areas of your organization and has an active role in risk management to mitigate loss and ensure business continuity.

AMLJIA’s Employment Law Hotline is here to help our members with employment related issues. We are here to help you with the “people” risks of your organization.

The Employment Law Hotline can help with:

  • Staffing issues
  • Policies and Procedures
  • Employee Handbooks
  • Job Descriptions
  • Training
  • General Feedback
  • Counseling

Members can also contact the Hotline with issues concerning employment law or how to proceed with a specific employment related issue.
