Research shows that corporations who embrace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs have improved performance across key areas of corporate success, but DEI in the corporate landscape still faces challenges. This workshop will equip in-house attorneys with the knowledge and tactics necessary to conquer these hurdles. Explore the latest political and legal developments that threaten DEI initiatives, gain insights from industry experts, and enhance your in-house practitioner skills. Boost your confidence through interactive exercises and guided discussions rooted in real-world scenarios.

Navigate the employee life-cycle from application to hiring to promotion in this dynamic program. Following a hypothetical employee’s journey, this panel will work through issues of pay transparency, pay equity, diversity, and business continuity. Discuss how employers have reviewed and set pay (both traditionally and with the advent of AI), how to maintain compliance in the face of ever-expanding job search laws, and how to handle employee requests for compensation data. Employers will walk away with practical advice and compliance roadmaps for the dynamic employment landscape.

As many organizations are seeing, generational shifts in the workforce can create more opportunities for diversity in leadership roles. The new insights, strategies, ideas, and points of view gained from multigenerational leadership teams can have many benefits, but legal challenges may arise when generational, cultural, and management styles fail to mesh. This session will focus on strategies for effectively managing a workforce with multigenerational leadership, including best practices for handling workplace investigations, complaints, differing communication and work styles, and other issues to brace for when leadership styles clash.
