A workplace that works – Salt Lake City lawyer shows companies how to avoid litigation over employee relations

When it comes to dealing with employee problems such as bad behavior, poor communication or harassment, Salt Lake City lawyer Jathan Janove says companies should convert the "instinct to avoid into a trigger for doing the opposite."

The move to tackle disturbances directly might not come instinctively, but avoiding them can be even costlier if they lead to litigation. To avoid potential snags, Janove suggests managers change their "sins" of avoidance into "virtues" of good management. He provides details in his new book Managing to Stay Out of Court: How to Avoid the 8 Deadly Sins of Mismanagement, published by the Society for Human Resources Management.

"It’s designed for anyone who manages other people," says attorney Jathan Janove of his new book "Managing to Stay Out of Court". The publication discusses how any company can avoid mismanagement.
