In today’s job market, employees have more power and choices than ever before.
Their experience in the workplace can shape the success of an organization, especially as workplace laws get increasingly complex. This makes it essential for leaders to build a positive workplace culture—one that engages employees, fosters trust, encourages a sense of belonging, and ultimately reduces legal risks.
Creating this kind of culture, however, takes more than good intentions; it requires training, especially in HR issues. Unfortunately, few leaders make this investment. Law firms are especially prone to this oversight, as most partners supervise at least one employee, making every partner’s actions impactful on the entire firm’s legal standing.
Amie Remington fully understands the challenges employers are facing. After graduating from Florida State University College of Law, serving as General Counsel with Landrum HR through September 2021, she then joined The TLC Companies as Chief Legal Officer.
Amie is a champion of people. “I believe in civil rights to my core, so if I can help employers pay their employees correctly, maintain safe workplaces, and maintain fairness and transparency, I can positively impact employees’ lives,” she shared.
She is a mother of three with one son still at home and believes that when she is teaching employers, speaking to industry groups, and sharing best practices around employment law, she is doing her part to make this world a better place.
Over her career span, she has spoken to more than 20,000 people about how to be compliant with the law, thereby helping employees who don’t even know she is advocating for them.
Motivated to be an advocate for both employers and employees, Amie wrote and published The Art (and Science) of HR. This valuable resource is for attorneys who supervise subordinate employees but do not practice employment law. However, because the book addresses how and why culture is so important, it is applicable for any supervisor or leader.
Amie offers straightforward, cost-effective steps organizations can take to foster a healthy environment. She backs up the ‘why’ with compelling data from organizations like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and National Labor Relations Board, underscoring how a positive culture can save companies money—and reputation.
