    Hot Topics and Recent Changes in Employment Laws

    Not only are laws impacting the workplace constantly changing, but trends in the courtroom and major enforcement initiatives launched by regulatory agencies can create new compliance concerns under pre-existing laws. Yet despite this state of flux, employers are required to be in full compliance almost as soon as the new laws or trends come into being. Fortunately, attending this session will give you the information you need to understand the recent developments that may profoundly impact your organization.

    By the end of this session you will be able to:

    • Understand recent changes to the law, as well as the most critical enforcement trends
    • Reassess your employment practices to determine whether they are in compliance with the most current trends and laws
    • Reduce the legal risks to which your current practices may be exposing you
