• Instructor Profile
• Vanessa G. Nelson, MSA,
  SPHR, CLRL is founder and President of
  award-winning Expert Human Resources, which she
  founded to help companies maintain employment law
  compliance, avoid workplace litigation, reduce
  costs, and increase revenue. Vanessa
  established Expert Human Resources in 2009, after
  observing companies' frustrations in complying
  with constantly changing employment laws as well
  as continually dealing with workplace litigations
  and fines. Vanessa realized that a lot of the
  litigious situations that businesses encountered
  could be avoided by their being proactive and
  implementing updated polices and applying them
  correctly. Vanessa also recognized that many
  companies could not afford a full-time HR person,
  or department, to assist in maintaining
  compliance with employment laws, as well as
  applying policies and practices correctly
  therefore she established a "portable HR" to
  accommodate those businesses.

• Description
• With several cases of
  Ebola diagnosed in the United States, employers
  should be prepared to protect the workplace,
  especially if employees travel to an
  Ebola-infected country (for business or personal
  reasons) or even domestically. Employees should
  consider the wide range of decisions that may
  arise including Medical inquiries, leave from
  work, and educating management and employees.
  Additionally, employers should understand the
  signs in case an employee is infected, and an
  action plan must be implemented for keeping the
  workplace safe.
