Hiring & Firing: Things You Need to Know
Length: Part One – 25 minutes
Length: Part Two – 25 minutes
In today's employment and regulatory environment many companies find both hiring and firing even more difficult and demanding. Companies must be sure that they do not discriminate in either hiring or firing. Even the appearance of unfairness can bring claims and litigation.
Contrary to what some business people think, virtually all employment is "at will". Companies can hire and fire as they wish, as long as it is not discriminatory. Employees can accept jobs and quit "at will". The problems often arise in the process used to hire and fire.
From the beginning we should all understand that discrimination on the basis of race, religion, age or gender is not only illegal, it is simply not right. This program is designed to help you understand the laws better and show company management and supervisors how to comply with Equal Employment Opportunity (EEOC) laws.
We will help you identify those areas of legitimate business job requirements and demonstrate how to properly establish those requirements and discuss them during the interviewing process. Legal and effective interviewing skills need to be used in both hiring and firing. Steps need to be taken to protect the rights of your company and your employees. Avoiding litigation is foremost.

More Than a Gut Feeling III (CC)
More Than a Gut Feeling III teaches you to select the most qualified job candidate by applying the ever-popular behavioral approach™ to interviewing. This method, developed by industrial psychologist Dr. Paul Green, directs you to probe the job applicant for specific examples of their past. The reason is simple: The best predictor of a job applicant's future work behavior is their past work behavior.
Viewers of More Than a Gut Feeling III will learn helpful job-related interviewing techniques practiced by so many hiring staffs all over the world. You can refrain from judging an applicant on gut feeling by: asking rapport-building questions; discussing the job; taking notes and explaining why; asking specific, open-ended questions to get specific answers; allowing for silence if necessary; maintaining control; getting contrary evidence and evaluating. This video applies these techniques to the most common interviewing situations and helps you to refrain from judging the candidate on intuition.
SPECIAL FEATURE: Dr. Paul Green introduces the video with a personal message about his behavioral approach to interviewing and concludes the video with questions to think about the next time you interview a job candidate.
Video Synopsis
Two strangers, Ann and Will, strike up a conversation about interviewing practices while sitting next to each other on an airplane. Will has had previous problems hiring the "right" person because he doesn't know what questions to ask during an interview. Ann gives specific examples of how she uses behavioral-style interviewing to avoid making conclusions based on her gut feeling. Will follows Ann's techniques and successfully conducts his own interview!
Training Points:
How to plan a logical, structured interview that includes pre-planned interview questions
How to recognize the importance of developing an interview plan based on thorough knowledge of the job
How to understand that a behavioral example is a specific life-history event that can be used to determine the presence or absence of a skill
How to use interviewing techniques that allow for interviewer control
How to explain why it is important to make selection decisions based on facts and information, not on a gut feeling
How to explain why the concept of "the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior is so important in the behavioral" based interview process
How to recognize why some questions cannot be legally asked in the interview process

The Ugly Truth (cc)
It should come as no surprise that good looking people may have it easier than others. Just how far good looks can take a person is the subject of THE UGLY TRUTH.
Viewers of the THE UGLY TRUTH will learn about a painful, subtle form of discrimination with high social costs.
Our society recognizes sexism and racism as forms of discrimination . But there is also widespread discrimination against people with average looks in favor of "good looking" people. In this hard-hitting ABC News 20/20 segment, veteran correspondent John Stossel uses actors and hidden cameras to expose "lookism" in typical real-life situations: on the street, on the job, in school, and in the courtroom.
Why do we unconsciously reward good looking people and automatically assume they are smarter, more honest and even kinder than average looking people? Discover "The Ugly Truth" for yourself.
If you're a woman in distress...
If you want to land a decent job...
If you hope for better pay...
If you want your students to like you...
If you want to stay out of jail...
It helps to be good looking.

This Law & Order-style video will add drama to your training session as viewers watch Virginia, a job applicant who suspects that she has been unlawfully discriminated against because of her gender. Her interviewer, Mr. Coleman, asks if she has children and therefore assumes that she wouldn’t be fully committed to the job. Realizing that this question based on her personal life was unlawful, Virginia takes her case to court. During the lawsuit it is discovered that Mr. Coleman acted biased even while taking notes throughout the interview, jotting down that she was “attractive” and “wouldn’t fit in here.” Mr. Coleman’s lack of knowledge on how to conduct a legally defensible interview resulted in a costly expense for his company.
Viewers will learn how interviewing questions concerning age, race and religion can be legally rephrased to ask specific questions about jobrelated issues.
