Our session facilitators will explore emerging market trends, practices and methods to help you decide what changes are needed for 2023.

Join our very own, Mike Wong, Partner with the law firm SmithAmundsen, LLC for his January 2022 legal update on the latest labor and employment law developments, which will include:

Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Health and Wellbeing are crucial components of every human’s life. We bring our whole self into the workplace every day. We all need support in each of these areas to live and to thrive. When we are limited access, underserved, unaware, or unable to address these very necessary needs, we are left with desperate survival modes. The greater access, support, and education we can provide, the more likely we can create a lasting Wellness in the Workplace. 

Human Resource practitioners and managers are navigating increasingly difficult employee relations issues.  Given the complexities of today’s legal, social, business and moral imperatives for diversity awareness training, having the skill to conduct difficult conversations in a neutral way is more necessary than ever before. Communication skills training is a key element of DEI initiatives and will contribute to a person’s professional development.

Join our very own, Mike Wong, Partner with the law firm SmithAmundsen, LLC for his informative and essential update on the latest employment law developments. Mike’s talks always provide key take-aways for HR professionals. Topics to be covered include: 

·      COVID-19 related regulations and issues (ADA, FMLA and workers comp)

·      New Federal and State labor laws

·      Key court decisions

The speed and magnitude of innovation today is unparalleled — driving the radical transformation of the traditional workforce and workplace. No industry will escape untouched. The risks and rewards in this new era of automation and artificial intelligence are real, from balancing the clarion call for more transparency and trust in our institutions with mounting data privacy rules and regulations, to sustaining high levels of innovation and growth with a shrinking, aging, increasingly diverse and ever-shifting workforce. Prepare for the changes ahead.

Due to the current changes associated with COVID-19 ILFVSHRM has decided to postpone the originally scheduled Social Media & HR webinar until further notice. 

Instead, Mike Wong will present a free, short briefing on the updates on FMLA and other employment issues.
