In this episode:

Did you know that most legal exposure for employers is caused by discrimination in the workplace? And, did you know that you can protect your business from lawsuits and other legal issues by simply systematizing and documenting your processes?

In other words, if you carry out your business in a systematic way and treat all employees the same, you will greatly reduce the chances of any legal action being taken against you or your company. Because of this, it's important to ensure that all major components of your company's processes are documented — starting with your hiring systems and ending with your termination process.

In this episode of the Systems Simplified podcast, Adi Klevit is joined by Joel Greenwald, the Founder and Managing Partner of Greenwald Doherty LLP, to discuss how systematizing your business can help you reduce lawsuits. They also talk about the importance of documenting HR processes, how the pandemic has affected the workplace, and the different challenges businesses have been facing with recruiting and managing remote teams.
