In recent decades, studies from a variety of disciplines are showing that a growing and significant segment of our workforce across the nation is disengaged; often feeling that they are not treated fairly in the workplace and that their employer does not care. Studies also show that the key is the relationship the individual has with his or her supervisor.
Moore
By 1997, Carl Moore had spent over 25 years as a practicing attorney specializing in employment litigation. However, throughout his career, he was concerned about assisting managers, supervisors and employees in understanding how to recognize and resolve workplace problems when they were very small issues that could be solved quickly and easily; rather than letting them fester and bubble and boil. Then one day, the pot boils over and there is a huge mess and lawyers have to be called in to clean everything up! So early in his career, he focused on such things as conflict management and dispute resolution; improved communications around performance issues and improved communications around conduct and behavior issues; the prevention of workplace harassment; and the development of more diverse and inclusive workplaces. Service to the U.S. Senate
In 1991, Congress passed amending legislation to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In that 1991 legislation, the U. Senate applied EEO law to Senate employment by statute for the first time in history. And a few months later, Senators George Mitchell and Robert Dole, the Majority and Minority Leaders of the Senate, hired Carl Moore to create and administer an EEO complaints process for Senate employees. The Office of Senate Fair Employment Practices, the office he and Dr. Harriett Jenkins headed in the Senate, had a second statutory responsibility: “to assist members of the Senate and their staff to understand how to avoid violations of the law.” During the next five years, most of Carl Moore’s time was spent consulting with Members’ offices, committees and support offices. He developed a model HR manual and provided training in virtually every aspect of HR and EEO law and issues. Since retiring from the Senate and federal service in 1997, Carl Moore has been consulting and training for private and public sector organizations. He also trained more than 1,300 Members, managers, supervisors and employees in the Senate.
