Looking Beyond the Pandemic:

The Top Five Non-COVID-19 Employment Law Updates

Presented by Kellis Borek

For the last two years, the pandemic put HR Professionals’ expertise, stamina, and patience to the test through ongoing COVID-19-related work rules, regulations, and the need for constant policy review and revision. HR devoted resources to ensure compliance with pandemic regulations and deliver a compelling work experience for current and future employees. However, as we move toward reopening, now is the time to assess how other employment law updates may impact organizations.

This session will address current employment and labor law updates outside of pandemic-related issues. There are noteworthy and critical updates in Labor, Pay Equity, Wage/Hour, OFCCP, and employee agreements.

Key takeaways include:

Wage and hour developments at the local, state, and federal level for all employers
Pay equity and pay transparency law updates
The new “normal” regarding labor relations and employers
Required revisions to restrictive covenants and arbitration agreements
Federal contractor and OFCCP updates

If Not You, Who?

How to Attract & Retain Top Talent During the “Great Resignation”

Presented by Jill Christensen

Organizations in the top tier of employee engagement outperform their peers by 147% in earnings and grow 90% faster than their competition. Additionally, engaged employees are 87% less likely to leave an organization. However, even though we have this powerful data, only 34% of U.S. workers are engaged and millions are quitting every day. If throwing money at people is not the answer, what is? Author of the best-selling book, If Not You, Who? Cracking the Code of Employee Disengagement, Jill Christensen has uncovered a proven strategy to attract and retain top talent, and build unified high-performing teams, resulting in increased revenue, customer satisfaction, productivity, and retention. Priceless.

Attendees will leave this session with:

Insights into why employees are leaving.
The reason traditional approaches to employee engagement don’t work.
Tactics to engage senior leaders and managers in culture change.
A proven strategy that they can apply immediately to re-engage employees.
Clarity on next steps and inspiration to achieve their goals.
