  Education Moves Outside the Classroom

Education need not be confined to a classroom environment. Outside of the classroom, education is found everyday in informative television programming, homes and offices. The traditional role of a physical campus as a location for instructors and students to come together for the purpose of knowledge has diminished as competition for our time and money has increased. 

  Healthcare and Litigation

Companies doing well today without exception have in place a well thought out and executed training program for their people. Training is not a cost, it is an investment! When weighing the costs associated with not providing corporate training in today's competitive environment, you must be sure to accurately assess the impact that the lack of such training will cost in litigation, inadequate patient care, incomplete program execution and poor product exposure.

The US Supreme Court has set a  low standard for imposition of punitive damages in employee lawsuits. In the 1999 case Kolstad v. American Dental Association, the Supreme Court impressed upon employers the necessity of providing their employees training on employment laws, especially training on harassment and discrimination prevention. In this case, the Court addressed when an employer would be liable under Title VII, the primary federal law prohibiting workplace harassment and discrimination, for punitive damages. Subsequent lower court decisions have clarified that employers cannot simply rely on the existence of policies against harassment and discrimination to avoid punitive damages. In Bruso v. United Airlines, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals succinctly summarized the law on this point when it stated:  Every court to have addressed this issue thus far has concluded that...the implementation of a written or formal anti-discrimination policy is not sufficient in and of itself to insulate an employer from a punitive damages award. 

Numerous courts have held that to avoid punitive damages employers must provide their employees employment law training. For example, in EEOC v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., a jury levied punitive damages against Wal-Mart after finding that it had failed to reasonably accommodate a hearing-impaired employee by not providing him an interpreter for a mandatory training session. In considering Wal-Mart's appeal of the punitive damage award, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals stated that "the extent to which an employer has adopted anti-discrimination policies and educated its employees about the requirements of [the discrimination laws] is important in deciding whether it is insulated from vicarious punitive liability." While Wal-Mart maintained an anti-discrimination policy and even had an ADA handbook for supervisors, the court upheld the award of punitive damages, noting that Wal-Mart had not trained either the hearing-impaired employee's supervisor or his personnel manager on the employment discrimination laws. The court concluded that "the evidence demonstrates a broad failure on the part of Wal-Mart to educate its employees, especially its supervisors, on the requirements of the ADA, and to prevent discrimination in the workplace."

Research supports the intuitive notion that effective employee training reduces the number of employee claims. A healthcare company found recently that after one year implementing a harassment prevention training program, the number of internal complaints for harassment fell 36% and the number of litigated claims fell 41%. The total monetary costs of legal fees and settlement expenses fell by approximately 49%, saving the company over $800,000 in a single year.
