Our panel will address five pipelines for talent that many organizations are beginning to assess for the first time.  These pipelines, untested for many employers, bring new legal challenges.  We will identify the challenges and propose practical solutions.

1.           Recruit/hire/train individuals with disabilities
2.           Recruit/hire/train individuals with criminal history
3.           Recruit/hire/train individuals with military service
4.           Recruit/hire/train individuals returning to the workplace
5.           Recruit/hire/train individuals working remotely

With the legal problems understood and solved, your organization can be prepared to make use of talent acquisition methods that will improve your position in this worker shortage era. 

This 60-minute CLE program will discuss tricky issues in-house counsel may confront when their organization is conducting an internal investigation. The interactive program will provide case studies and real-life examples of when ethical concerns and even criminal exposure have resulted from behavior during internal investigations. The program will outline best practices and offer practical tips on what to do (and what not to do) when conducting an internal investigation, dealing with the government, and managing corporate crises.

Wine/Beer and appetizers will be served at the program.

The isolation, stress and suffering of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected employees’ mental health. We have seen sharp increases in delusional thinking, suicidal ideations, domestic violence, cyber stalking, substance abuse and more. As more employees are returning to the physical workplace, employers need to recognize these behaviors and know the immediate and long-term options available to address them in order to protect workplaces from conduct that could lead to dangerous workplace conditions.

We will analyze actual situations of mental health crises in the workplace and discuss the steps employers can take to ensure the safety of employees and customers. Attendees will leave with tools to help them support employees struggling with mental health and ensure the safety of their employees.

As the global pandemic swept across our nation, many employers pivoted away from in-person work and mandatory attendance policies to allow their employees to work remotely in the face of many unknowns.  Now, as government safety recommendations concerning COVID are relaxed and lifted, employers are navigating choices around whether they should mandate a full-time return to the office, allow a fully remote workforce, or adopt a hybrid approach.

Join ACC Northeast and Shook, Hardy & Bacon as our panel, made up of in-house counsel from diverse industries along with lawyers from the Firm, explore some of the employment law issues surrounding these choices, as well as the risks and opportunities presented by this seismic shift in the way we work and live.  The panel will address these hot-button employment issues and share their experiences/challenges, as we all continue to adapt to this evolving landscape.
