Presenting: Employment Law Update: What's New, What's Old, and What's the Big Deal?

Any time there is a major political shift in the Executive Branch, employers can expect a change in the law. In 2020, with the power of the Congress and White House isolated in one party, employers encountered more change than usual and the employment landscape has continued to shift. What does this mean for your workplace? Kelli will break down the latest developments and need-to-know challenges of employment law, while outlining key action items and considerations for your workplace response.

• Takeaways:
  • Participants will learn about the initiatives and focus of federal and state labor and employment law regulators
  • They will understand the trends and shifts in employment law which are impacting employers
  • They will have an understanding of considerations for employer compliance strategies.
