Assumptions about the nature and structure of work have been revisited and employers find themselves operating in a workplace transformed. Now, with a multi-generational, geographically-dispersed, politically and socially conscious workforce in tow, a continued expansion of the regulatory landscape, and a greater pressure to enhance the overall employee experience, employers must be ready to confront the many new challenges that lie ahead – all while remaining competitive and reducing potential exposure. Join us this Spring as we bring together thought leaders to discuss emerging employment law issues in this transformed workplace and highlight other key legal trends and developments critical for preparing today’s leaders to guide organizations into the future. This year, we are pleased to announce Lauren Moran, Chief of the Fair Labor Division at the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office as our keynote speaker. Agenda & Topics Covered: First things First: Prioritizing Hiring & Onboarding Compliance in an Evolving Marketplace Whether an employee’s hiring and onboarding occurs in the office, remotely, or as a hybrid of the two, it’s crucial that employers understand the associated legal risks as it can make all the difference between a successful experience and a costly lawsuit. During this opening segment, we will cover requirements and best practices for properly hiring and onboarding new employees (in office and remotely), focusing on employment salary history and pay transparency, artificial intelligence in the hiring process, background checks and drug testing, employment applications and job postings, trainings and orientations, and more. Presenters: Mike Arnold and Natalie Groot (Mintz) To Have and To Hold: Leveraging Change to Drive Engagement and Retention The workforce is more connected, mobile and diverse than ever. Given this, employers need to understand the factors, trends, and developments driving the retention of high-performing employees. Specifically, this panel will discuss the “new normal” driving employee’s everyday experience and practices for retention, including effective performance management techniques (including in the hybrid environment), the prevalence of quiet quitting but also quiet hiring, the impact of GenZ’s growing presence in the workplace, the importance of DEI, as well as focusing on health and wellness in the workplace, and much more. Moderator: Drew Matzkin (Mintz) Panelists: Julianna Akuamoah (Chief People Officer, NOBULL), Jay Babbitt (Vice President, Human Resources, Northland Investment Corporation), Kelley Burwood (Assistant General Counsel - Global Lead of Employment, Mobility & Immigration, HubSpot) When It Is Time To Say Goodbye: Best Practices For Navigating the Separation and Post-Separation Landscape In this session we will take a deep dive into the thorny, complicated issues that arise when it’s time to end the employment relationship and the issues that arise thereafter. Topics include: separation/severance agreement do’s and don’ts, tips for ensuring the safeguarding of employer information (including trade secrets), physical property (e.g., laptops) and reputation, final wage payment law compliance, and finally, the keys to implementing and enforcing an employee’s post-employment restrictive covenants. Presenters: Brendan Lowd and Emma Follansebee (Mintz) Compensation Considerations in Hiring, Firing and Everything in Between Today, the business, tax and legal considerations around the design, implementation and efficacy of different compensation models continue to evolve.
