While You Were Quarantining … Workplace Changes and Developments for 2021
Monday, March 8th, 10:30 to 11:30 AM
Description
While we were all working from home and focusing on the COVID-19 pandemic, the laws of the workplace changed dramatically in Virginia. Not only were our lives and workplaces turned upside down by COVID-19, but we had a divisive Presidential election and a slew of new employment laws passed in Virginia by the General Assembly. For a lot of employers, it has been difficult to keep pace with all of the changes because of the demands the pandemic has put on HR staff. During this session, we will look at workplace changes and developments—including a peek into our crystal ball now that the Biden administration has taken office—that employers need to be ready for in 2021 and explore some ways to address them.
Learning Objectives: After participating in this workshop, participants will be able to …
• Better understand developments and changes in emerging law;
• Better handle employee issues and foster positive employee relations in the handling of employment issues; and
• Ensure that company activities and policies comply with applicable law.
Pre-approved for (1) SHRM and (1) HRCI recertification credits!
