Our Mission is to help companies create an environment that achieves their desired business results through the implementation of an EPC Learning Solution or Support Solution. The EPC Learning Solution consists of a variety of educational seminars developed by our attorneys and human resources professionals to educate managers and employees. Our courses are not merely legal lecture. They are highly engaging programs developed to help foster understanding and retention. The programs are customized so that they are not only relevant to the clients industry but relevant to the client business. Through EPC's Learning Solutions clients are not only equipped to establish affirmative defenses to harassment, discrimination and other employment related claims. Our courses equip management and non-management employees with the skills and knowledge to create a workplace that is free of conflict, hence improving employee relations and reducing the possibility of employment practices liability.

EPC offers several Support Solutions, including investigative services, human resources audits, and affirmative action plan development, to help employers ensure that they are in compliance with the law. We also assist employers in implementing and streamlining human resource systems and to better position human resources departments to add continued value to the organization

Why EPC?

Risk Management. Our educational seminars entail more than just a recitation of the laws and a review of court cases. Our training includes tools to increase your employee's awareness of your policies and procedures. Each participant in our seminars receives helpful, user-friendly information that can be applied immediately to his or her work arena; thus, helping to reduce potential exposure to employment practices liability.

Affirmative Defenses. In order to establish affirmative defenses to harassment and discrimination, Supreme Court decisions require employers to prove effective training of managers and employees. Effective training will also reduce exposure to staggering punitive damages awards.

Return on Investment (ROI). The cost associated with defending against an employment practices claim can soon top $250,000 in legal fees alone. When settlements, jury awards, lost management time the cost of employee turnover, lost productivity and lowered morale, the actual cost of workplace conflict can soon top $1,000.000. The benefit of implementing the EPC Learning Solution is the reduction of workplace conflict and employment practices claims. By introducing effective workplace training to the company, the company can save the average company millions of dollars.

Convenience. EPC's service does not cease just because the seminar is over, the Affirmative Action Plan is complete, or the investigation is closed. Our consultants are available as needed for questions and continued follow-up.
