What IAML teaches

Workplace law in practice

Programs connect employment law, benefits, labor relations, investigations, compliance, and manager decisions to the situations HR teams see every day.

Who IAML serves

People responsible for risk

IAML trains HR, employee relations, benefits, legal, compliance, managers, supervisors, and organizations that need a shared workplace-law foundation.

How teams use it

Public programs or private training

Individuals can compare public programs, while organizations can plan private training around their audience, policies, and recurring workplace issues.

Mission and method

Built to turn legal standards into practical judgment.

IAML’s role is not to make every participant a lawyer. It is to help workplace decision-makers recognize risk earlier, ask better questions, document more carefully, involve the right people, and understand how everyday actions can affect legal outcomes.

01
Legal context

Faculty explain the legal standards behind employment, labor, benefits, investigations, accommodations, and compliance issues without losing the practical thread.

02
Workplace application

Training stays close to the moments HR and managers actually face: complaints, performance issues, leave requests, discipline, documentation, and escalation.

03
Role-specific judgment

Participants learn what to notice, what to record, when to pause, and when to involve HR, legal, benefits, compliance, or leadership.

Why IAML exists

Workplace-law risk usually starts as an ordinary management decision.

IAML exists because HR, managers, benefits teams, and internal advisors often face legal risk before a lawyer is in the room. The training helps people slow down, recognize what matters, and make better decisions when process, documentation, and escalation matter.

IAML is not generic compliance awareness training. Programs are built to help people apply legal context to the decisions they actually make: complaints, investigations, accommodations, discipline, leave, benefits administration, labor relations, and manager escalation.

Focused since 1979

A long-running institution centered on workplace law education for the people responsible for employee and management decisions.

Attorney-led by design

Faculty are selected for their ability to connect legal standards to workplace judgment, not just present doctrine.

Built for public and private use

Individuals can choose public programs, while organizations can align private training to role level, policies, locations, and recurring issues.

Who IAML serves

Training for the people who carry workplace decisions.

IAML is built for professionals whose decisions affect employees, managers, legal exposure, benefits administration, workplace culture, and organizational consistency. The audience is practical: people who need to act, advise, document, or escalate with better judgment.

HR and ER

Employee relations teams

For professionals handling complaints, accommodations, discipline, retaliation concerns, documentation, investigations, and policy application.

Managers

Supervisors and leaders

For leaders whose daily decisions can create, reduce, or escalate workplace risk before HR or legal is involved.

Benefits

Benefits administration teams

For professionals responsible for ERISA, fiduciary duties, health and welfare plans, retirement plans, claims, and benefits administration decisions.

Legal and compliance

Internal advisors

For professionals who need a shared language with HR and management on workplace-law issues, escalation, and defensible process.

Organizations

Private training buyers

For employers that want attorney-led training aligned to a shared audience, policy context, location, business unit, or recurring issue.

Training paths

Compare programs, plan team training, or confirm the right next step.

Most buyers arrive with one of three needs: compare public programs, train a group, or decide which path is the best fit for their role, team, or workplace-law issue.
