Not Normal: the Challenges of a Changed Workplace
July 21, 2020 from 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm (EDT)
Four months ago, the Dow was close to 30,000, employment rates were at historic highs, the coronavirus was still “novel,” and millions had not yet taken to the streets in global protests against police brutality and racial inequality. The workplace we now return to exists in this supercharged social and political climate, with new rules, laws, risks and social issues creating new and uncharted waters for employers to navigate. In this webinar, Kelley Drye’s Labor and Employment partners Barbara Hoey and Mark Konkel identified risks and shared pragmatic solutions to these new challenges. Topics included:
- Politics, speech and activism in the workplace
- The changing role of HR
- What “diversity” means now
- New employment laws
