(PRWEB) April 25, 2006 -- Interactive Employment Training, Inc.] (IET), a leader in http://www.hrtrain.com [online training about workplace issues], and http://www.litigationproofing.com [LitigationProofing, LLC], a best-practices consultant in electronic communications and http://www.hrtrain.com/emailrisk [litigation risk] avoidance, have released http://www.hrtrain.com/emailrisk ["Think Before You Send: A Practical Guide to E-Mail in the Workplace" (http://www.hrtrain.com). The course helps employees avoid the e-mail miscues that may lead to financial losses, bruised reputations and employment terminations.
The online training course comes at a critical juncture. Under new electronic discovery rules--approved April 12 by the U.S. Supreme Court--millions of e-mails will routinely be analyzed by lawyers seeking ammunition in court battles. The course was authored by three nationally-recognized litigators who believe e-mail risk management (http://www.hrtrain.com/emailrisk) is now a necessity.
"As an employment lawyer, I have witnessed firsthand what can happen when employees click ‘send' without thinking. We built this course because workplace e-mail servers are now transparent in litigation and inappropriate e-mails will become discovered on a more frequent basis. Good corporate governance] now mandates training employees about the appropriate use of e-mail," said Robert D. Lipman, Esq., president of http://www.hrtrain.com [IET] and managing partner of http://www.lipmanplesur.com [Lipman & Plesur, LLP (http://www.hrtrain.com/emailrisk).
The course includes the "Seven Deadly Sins of Workplace E-Mail" identified by former Merrill Lynch litigation manager and president of LitigationProofing, LLC, Eric M. Rosenberg, Esq. In about 35 minutes, the course teaches the importance of regarding each e-mail as a permanent document and then presents compelling scenarios of common mistakes such as inappropriate personal use of corporate systems and ill-advised attempts at humor over difficult business decisions. "No senior executive with responsibility for litigation risk avoidance (http://www.hrtrain.com/emailrisk) should pass up the opportunity to deliver this education to all employees who have access to company e-mail," said Rosenberg.
