ScottHulse’s Survival Guide
Get expert advice on how to adapt to the ever-changing labor and employment minefield, with precision. This high-level, interactive seminar is designed for human resource professionals, managers, supervisors, executives, business owners, and in-house legal counsel. It covers the latest updates on legal and regulatory issues and day-to-day managerial challenges that affect businesses of all sizes, in an entertaining and light-hearted manner.
This is the Firm's 14th year of presenting the seminar because employers in the Borderplex need an affordable, but high-level, seminar to help navigate the ever-changing legal landscape of workplace laws.
In the midst of a worldwide pandemic with variants that continue to wreak havoc in the workplace, and have resulted in robust governmental involvement, it is even more critical for employers to keep abreast of significant changes. It truly is survival of the fittest for employers these days and our team is here with a Survival Guide for Workplace Warriors.
