(INDIANAPOLIS) --Two June conferences hosted by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce will allow attendees to gain a greater understanding of two vital topics under the human resources umbrella: supervising and managing people, and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

Event details include:

• Supervising and Managing People Workshop, June 9-10, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Designed for new and experienced managers alike, this conference will cover various aspects of managing and supervising employees. Topics for discussion include the role of a successful manager, four uncommon but critical hats managers have to wear, powerful techniques for motivating people, keys to improving communication effectiveness, coaching for peak performance, as well as dealing with employee problems and problem employees. The conference is presented by Comprehensive Performance Systems and features Phillip Thompson as the speaker. Cost: $599.
  
  
• FMLA Seminar, June 16, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. FMLA is one of the most commonly misunderstood and complicated leave-related laws governing the workplace. It's also one of the most abused by employees. Employers can attend this seminar to ensure that their company is complying with federal laws. Topics such as intermittent leave, disciplining/terminating the FMLA abuser, mastering FMLA paperwork, key FMLA court decisions and FMLA case studies will be discussed during the seminar presented by Ogletree Deakins. The seminar is worth one credit toward the completion of the Indiana Chamber's Human Resource Specialist Certificate program. HRCI recertification credit is pending. Cost: $299 for Indiana Chamber members; $329 for non-members.

Both conferences will be hosted at the Indiana Chamber Conference Center in downtown Indianapolis. Anyone sending three employees to either conference may send a fourth for free.
