Webinar: Managing Labor and Employment Challenges Amid Political Division

As the U.S. prepares for a presidential election and crises erupt around the globe, strong emotions and divisive issues are undeniably surfacing within workplaces. In parallel, backlash against Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives has intensified, putting pressure on employers to balance legal risks, societal pressures and the need to demonstrate progress toward DEI goals. Stay ahead of the curve and join our team of experienced lawyers for a one-hour program that will provide valuable insights and the necessary tools to navigate this rocky legal terrain.

Our informative session will cover the following topics:

• Impact of the Supreme Court's affirmative action decision regarding college admissions on workplace DEI programs and the steps that employers can take now to remain compliant.
• Understanding the types of DEI programs that are most at risk for challenge and why.
• The latest updates on employer obligations during elections and with respect to employee voting rights.
• Legal considerations for handling employee expression on divisive issues both in and outside the workplace.

This program will be simulcast as a webinar.
