We are living and working in interesting times. The country is seemingly divided on nearly every issue. With the Internet, every person has a voice. #MeToo is a force impacting work. Now settled in, the Trump Administration has been changing the regulatory environment at work. Courts are actively involved in addressing work issues. What does HR need to know to help guide organizations in this dizzying working world?
Hot topics this year will include regulatory changes in federal policy on workplace issues; the impact of #metoo; managing leaves of absence and other time off; and marijuana and opioid use by employees. As always, with good humor, Chuck's session will explore some of the more "unusual" questions that have arisen in the past year in order to keep abreast of the most cutting-edge legal issues involving work and its human resources.
