All-New '10 Danger Zones for Supervisors' Video-Based Training Program Released by M. Lee Smith Publishers

Updated Series is Complete Revision of Bestselling First-Edition Program, Which Earned a "Top Training Product of the Year" Award in 1998

BRENTWOOD, TN, September 14, 2001 - One of the top-selling and most highly acclaimed video-based training programs on workplace law has been completely updated into an all-new program entitled 10 Danger Zones for Supervisors.

Featuring 10 videos plus accompanying written materials for trainers and supervisors, this new video-based training program is based on Seven Danger Zones for Supervisors-which Human Resources Executive magazine hailed one of America's "Top 10 Training Products of the Year" in 1998-plus the follow-up three-video series More Danger Zones, released in 1999. Each of the 10 "hot" workplace law topics discussed in the two original series is now fully covered in 10 Danger Zones for Supervisors.

"We have completely updated our bestselling Danger Zones video-based training program because of the many changes in employment law since the original Danger Zones program was released," said M. Lee Smith, Chairman & Publisher of M. Lee Smith Publishers. "Even though our original-edition videos were still selling at a brisk pace, we felt it imperative to update them now to offer our customers maximum value for their training investment."

Topics featured in the 10 Danger Zones for Supervisors video-based training program are:

• Hiring
• Performance Evaluations & Progressive Discipline
• Documentation
• Firing
• Workplace Harassment
• Workplace Violence
• FMLA Compliance Issues
• Employee Privacy and the Law
• Employee Accidents in the Workplace

The videos are hosted again by nationally-recognized employment law attorney John B. Phillips, Jr. of the law firm of Miller & Martin of Chattanooga, Nashville, and Atlanta. When it awarded a "Top 10 Training Product of the Year" award to the original Danger Zones video-based training program, Human Resources Executive magazine said of Phillips, "With his pleasant, low-key manner, he puts the complex subjects he's discussing into layman's terms without talking down to his audience."

Updating the brisk, roundtable discussion format that made the original Danger Zones videos national bestsellers, Phillips again offers clear guidance as he answers all the most frequently asked questions about the 10 most crucial workplace law topics.

M. Lee Smith said the 10-video training program will sell for $1297, with deep discounts offered to those who previously purchased the series.
