Webinar

With the advent of the pandemic many, organizations are moving towards remote work either temporarily or permanently. While there are many advantages to virtual teaming, managing the remote workforce presents new challenges for HR practitioners.

John Newton, a well-known HR expert, will lead this interactive workshop to explore the HR implications such as policies, employee engagement, communication, employee relations, productivity, performance, technology and safety/security.  

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us have experienced a lack of energy, lower job satisfaction and perhaps being irritable. People who work in Human Resources have multiple demands placed on their time and energy by their roles as supportive professionals. This crisis has added another layer of stress given the prospect of keeping the organization viable and the employees healthy (and in some cases alive).

In this session Jorie Cummins (NSN Employer Services, Inc.) will review the Unemployment System and discuss the life cycle of a claim along with separation reasons and benefit charges and tax rates.

Jorie will also present on the hot topic of the increase in Fraudulent Claims.

Did you know that in 2019, women working full time and year-round in the United States typically were paid just 82% of what men were paid, a gap of 18%? According to the U.S. Census Bureau reports and Bureau of Labor Statistics, for women of color, the gap is even higher – 62% for black women, 57% for native women, and 54% for Hispanics. As a result of lower lifetime earnings, women receive less in Social Security and pensions.
