HR professionals now have the responsibility to help their employers cope with this risk. In an October 7 virtual presentation, the Chair of Kaufman & Canoles’ Employment Team, Burt Whitt will define this enhanced risk and provide practical guidance to HR professionals on how to avoid/limit risks in this new Virginia employment litigation reality.
