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.
Ms. Nelson established Expert Human Resources in 2009 after observing companies' frustrations over compliance with constantly changing employment laws as well as continually dealing with workplace litigations and fines. She realized that a lot of the litigious situations that businesses encountered could be avoided by being proactive and implementing updated polices and applying them correctly. She 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.
Ms. Nelson is a results-oriented HR consultant with a unique background in business management, spanning over 29 years at two major medical centers in Michigan. Her expertise includes: HR audits, labor relations, employment laws, employee relations, workplace investigations, and policies and procedures. Additionally, Ms. Nelson has worked with companies to implement processes to improve conflict management and employee relations and has conducted harassment training to improve company efficiencies. She has helped companies save hundreds of thousands of dollars.
