Who We Are
Seyfarth Shaw at Work is a premier legal compliance and management training
company, providing highly engaging employment and corporate training and compliance solutions over
a variety of platforms. Seyfarth Shaw at Work is committed to partnering with our clients to
deliver highly effective training programs to all levels of their organization, that will not
only help protect their company against liability and exposure to costly litigation, but also to
help build a respectful and productive work environment where employees are valued and respected.
Since our formation, we have trained over 1,000,000 employees and managers and more than 500 diverse clients. We have conducted training in all fifty states, as well as internationally.
We help clients draft universal core values, develop strategic compliance messages and then utilize the results to provide highly engaging employment law-related training over a variety of platforms. As a subsidiary business of Seyfarth Shaw LLP, we work closely with firm attorneys and our clients to develop all training and compliance solutions.
Our approach has achieved a 100% course approval success rate in federal agency consent
decrees, including approval as part of the nation's largest ever mandatory training conciliation
agreement. In addition, federal enforcement agencies have identified our courses, by name, as
required trainings for companies seeking to limit their liability in specific
settlements. Courses that have received agency approval include our harassment
prevention, workplace investigations and EEO courses.
Whether you need to do one day of training or 4,000+ days of training (as we have done with
harassment prevention training for one of our clients with over 100,000 employees), we are
committed to providing you and your participants a training experience that will bring changes of
conduct and attitude to your organization.
Courses cover all aspects of the employment relationship, as well as corporate ethics and
compliance issues. The training sessions are designed to help build and support our clients’
available affirmative, reasonable care and good faith defenses, all the while creating a safer,
productive and more respectful work environment for all employees. Regardless of the delivery
method, SSAW training courses are always customized, not only for your organization, but also for
the level of your participants, and topics are taught utilizing the same teaching points and
similar teaching tools, providing clients the opportunity to develop a truly blended training
solution.
Our training courses are unique in their high-energy and interactive format. They are
taught by trainers that are skilled labor and employment attorneys, who are up-to-date on all
current laws and court cases. Our training team includes former plaintiff’s attorneys and
judges who are entertaining and are recognized for high-energy delivery. Unique teaching
tools have been incorporated into all courses, and these tools keep the learner involved and
engaged. It is our goal that the learners not only understand the material and are interested
in it, but that they assimilate the information and practice learned techniques in their work
environment. These programs allow for training at all levels of the workforce—from
executives to employees---in all locations and settings, efficiently and cost-effectively.
Our training is cost-efficient and successfully utilizes a flat daily rate system for live
training, while our web-based program can provide per-participant savings; both are crucial in
today’s economic climate. Clients have found our training to be economical not only in terms
of training value, but also in monitoring and follow-up regarding compliance and consistent
participant attendance.
