Human Resources Training Sessions
The TML Intergovernmental Risk Pool is providing human resources training on September 1, 2026 in Donna, Texas. These programs will educate and motivate employees to develop work relationships and effectively carry out your organization's mission. These sessions are provided at no charge to TMLIRP member entities.
Civility in the Workplace
Disagreements in the workplace will occur. A key to successful workplace culture is to resolve disagreements in a beneficial way. This training is designed to help identify behaviors that cause unhealthy conflict in the workplace as well as how to modify those behaviors to work out differences. It will also address the distinctions between harassment, bullying, and uncivil behaviors. Employees will review the role of a bystander and the importance of taking action. Course discussions include the encouragement of personal empowerment to increase workplace ownership and positive workplace cultures.
Harassment Prevention for Supervisors
People and careers are harmed by harassment. An organization’s supervisors make a difference in culture. How they respond to inappropriate and unlawful conduct involves preparation. This training is designed to assist supervisors in understanding the differences between inappropriate conduct versus unlawful conduct. Supervisors will learn the impact that bullying and harassment have on employees and how to proactively address the related problematic behavior before it becomes unlawful. This course will also provide education on relevant state and federal harassment laws. Course discussions include the supervisor’s role in creating a respectful positive work environment. For law enforcement, TCOLE #3910 credit is available.
Performance Management and Disciplinary Action for Supervisors
Addressing performance issues and knowing how and when to utilize disciplinary action is key for those in a supervisory role. Supervisors need to understand the importance of effective performance management and discipline, identify issues, and know when to partner with their Human Resources representative and/or legal counsel. In this workshop, supervisors will review the importance of job descriptions and that performance appraisals (evaluations) are a part of effective performance management. They will also list effective steps to disciplinary action, and understand when to start the disciplinary process, including performance improvement plans and terminations, as well as the importance of good documentation.
