    Employment Law & Legislative Conference

    2016 is going to be a landmark year for our country: The first open race for U.S. President since 2008; another round of national elections that could further shift the balance of power in Congress; and the potential for even more regulatory and legislative burdens on the workplace.

    With a presidential administration solidifying its legacy, and America preparing to elect a new leader, is there a better - or any more important - time to be discussing HR issues in our nation's capital?

    Burdens like wide-sweeping changes to FLSA overtime regulations and adjustments to health care costs under the Affordable Care Act – just to name a couple – are going to continue to majorly impact HR professionals, employers and employees across the country. This is where the 2016 Employment Law & Legislative Conference comes in - to proactively and strategically provide you with the timeliest information needed to prepare for what lies ahead – and then how to best engage to bring about change.

    Reasons to Attend: 
    • Get a clear understanding of the complex world of workplace legislation and court decisions that impact how you do business.
    • Learn about the latest regulatory and enforcement activities from those on the front lines of implementing federal employment laws.
    • Identify and address common pitfalls that can put your organization at risk, such as pre-employment screening, FLSA compliance and sexual harassment claims.
    • Get tools, tips and resources that help minimize your organization’s exposure to litigation.
    • Be an advocate! Influence the HR public policy agenda by attending the Capitol Hill visits.
    • Build your network of peers and resources.
    Who Should Attend: 
    • Senior HR Professionals who need to know what’s next in workplace law & legislation seeking to successfully position their organizations.
    • HR professionals seeking practicable, actionable guidance on workplace management.
    • HR managers seeking to build compliant organizations and manage risk.
    • HR practitioners who want to hear from leaders and legislators on how workplace law affects them.
