After two years of altered work environments, many employers are moving forward with return to work plans this spring. Join Nutter's labor and employment team and a member of E Ink Corporation's in-house counsel in a discussion about what employers need to know for "the great return." Our discussion leaders will provide insights on common employer questions, including:
What are the key policies necessary for a sustainable "hybrid" workplace?
How do you consider FMLA, PFMLA, and ADA requirements with a workforce who may no longer be used to spending a majority of their days in a workplace?
How do you attract and retain talent given the fundamental changes in the workplace landscape?
How do you comply with the OSHA general duty clause to have a safe workplace when it comes to COVID-19 in light of the retreating government mandates?
How do you prepare for likely, future vaccine/booster and masking requirements and exemptions?
Are there worker new or different confidentiality issues to balance?
What is the expected next wave of employment litigation matters to arise out of this transition back to the workplace? And how can you prepare to mitigate such risks?
