All the trainings will be interactive, prepared and delivered by attorneys, and will include a review of your organization’s current policies. Training will be delivered via PowerPoint and materials will be provided to the company in order to provide proof of the training for record keeping purposes. Trainings can be conducted in-person or through a live webinar. All webinar trainings are recorded and the video recordings are provided to clients for their use.

Confidential Complaint Services

What is your complaint procedure? It’s outlined in your handbook, but employees often don’t know what it is. Or they may feel afraid to come forward and make a complaint to HR or their manager for fear of retribution and retaliation.

The Ali Law Group can help companies establish a safe, confidential environment for employees to come forward. They can utilize our dedicated number or email to make complaints. They will complete a complaint form and get a response from a trained professional within 1 business day. If your company doesn’t have the staff to investigate the complaint, we can take it over.

Please inquire for more information.

Diversity and Inclusion

The Ali Law Group can help clients to create and foster a workplace culture that is inclusive, engaging, combats unconscious bias and overall promotes principles of diversity.
