HR Issues in the Time of COVID-19

Our society has gone through an unprecedented period. But as we begin the process of reopening, renewing and reinvigorating – including our HR function – what are the key points to consider as we move forward?  “Business as usual” is likely not the answer.  Instead, we must assess challenges and create solutions.  During this interactive webinar, we will discuss “best practices” being adopted by employers and compliance with rapidly changing laws and regulations surrounding re-opening in the midst of a pandemic.  We will address:

• Safer workplace and public interactions;
• Employee testing and quarantine;
• Remote work protocols;
• Unemployment compensation issues; and
• Compliance with mask ordinances.

In order to direct this webinar towards your interests and concerns, please list your questions when you register. Questions received by Friday, July 31 will be addressed in the webinar. We also will address your questions as they arise during the presentation.
