Helping employers cultivate a satisfied and productive workforce while mitigating risk through compliance, investigations, and training.
A creative and collaborative problem solver, Jenny Goltz conducts investigations, delivers employment-related training, and provides compliance advice. Jenny’s goal is to help employers address workplace issues before they become unmanageable. Jenny firmly believes that workers who feel supported and protected are happier and perform better, and their employers spend less time and money on employment-related claims and litigation. What is good for your workforce is good for business.
Employers today are operating in a complicated and evolving legal and regulatory landscape. We can help you navigate that environment towards running a better business and reduced legal risk. The guiding principle behind Jenny’s approach is that a modest investment in training, education and rigor around human resource processes will boost employee morale and productivity, and mitigate the distractions and economic burdens of employment litigation, regulatory action and other legal compliance risk. Having practiced a wide variety of labor and employment law at large law firms for over fifteen years, Jenny Goltz has keen insight into how seemingly minor employee issues can turn into expensive and protracted litigation or governmental audits and investigations, which drain resources and impose significant strains on your business operations. Jenny has supported managers, human resources personnel and in-house counsel at Fortune 500 companies and other major institutions in a wide variety of industries, such as higher education, technology, finance, manufacturing, healthcare and retail. She counsels employers on compliance matters and employment issues with respect to blue collar workers, high ranking executives and everything in-between. She approaches every issue with a practical and proactive perspective, helping to develop and implement workforce management strategies tailored to each business’s needs.

Investigations and Complaint Resolution
Even the best run organizations receive, on occasion, internal complaints from employees about any number of issues, such as discrimination, harassment, retaliation and other types of employee misconduct. Bringing in a neutral third party to provide an objective perspective on the situation is an important step towards resolution of such issues. Jenny is adept at investigating allegations of wrongdoing swiftly and effectively. She has a knack for getting to the core of the issue and providing constructive feedback. She is skilled at developing plans for resolution, and implementing corrective action where appropriate.

Compliance and Counseling
Employment law related questions come up on a day-to-day basis. Every business, even those with only a few employees, must make decisions that have legal implications. While common sense and good intentions are attributes that form a great foundation for effective management, they will not adequately protect your business in a rapidly evolving legal landscape. The law changes frequently and can be counterintuitive. Unintentional missteps can lead to costly litigation and/or investigations and penalties from government agencies and regulators.
Jenny’s goal is to reduce her clients’ potential legal exposure and boost compliance, morale and productivity. Whatever the issue, she can help problem solve in real time, easing the administrative burden on your managers and human resources personnel.

Training and Education
Regular, effective training at all levels is critical to fostering a safe, happy and productive workforce. Employment lawsuits are often borne of an innocent mistake, and they are an expensive way to learn a lesson. A small investment in training that equips supervisors and managers with the tools to identify and resolve employee issues (before they become out of control) can prevent litigation and reduce spend in the long term. Jenny can design and deliver training tailored to the needs of your business and your unique workforce.
