In today’s globally interconnected marketplace, cross-border employment can offer unparalleled benefits to businesses, but it also brings complex legal challenges. With remote work and digital collaboration on the rise, understanding the legal distinctions between contractors and employees across borders becomes even more crucial. Additionally, the employment requirements in differing jurisdictions vary widely from each other and from what US employers are used to, especially at the time of employment termination. A misstep could lead to significant legal and financial repercussions. To navigate today's challenges with confidence, join our insightful seminar featuring international employment attorney Nan Sato as she discusses the contemporary legal landscape of cross-border employment.

For the past several years, conversations about political and social issues have increasingly dominated newsfeeds and social media. It’s no surprise that these conversations, which are often heated and divisive, have made their way into the workplace — especially during a presidential election year. It has become more and more challenging for employers to balance their employees’ rights of self-expression and off-duty conduct with the need to maintain a safe, civil, and productive workplace.
In this webinar, the speakers will review the legal issues at play, including the limits of free speech, claims of protected concerted activity, and retaliation, as well as provide examples of compliant policies and how to put them into action.
Presented by Michael Murphy and D’Ontae Sylvertooth, Shareholders at Ogletree Deakins, together with Paul Kehoe, Vice President & Senior Assistant General Counsel at Leidos and Susannah S. Wright, Associate General Counsel, Chief Employment Counsel at The MITRE Corporation

For the first time in U.S. history, our workplaces have members of five generations working together, navigating different approaches to work and personal life. According to a 2022 Harvard Business Review article, only 8 percent of organizations that have developed diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging strategies have included age as part of those strategies. Often, those strategies are insufficient to effectively address and leverage the value of generational diversity. Ignoring the possible tensions between generational approaches could result in a lack of trust and missed opportunities for connection between workers of different generations, leading to a negative impact on the organization.
In this workshop, we will address the dynamics of a multi-generational workforce and provide strategies for how to develop a culture of inclusion and belonging that will minimize tensions and leverage the strengths of all employees.
This program is presented by the DEI Leadership Development Subcommittee.
