CLE - Workplace Policies and Procedures Webinar
2020-07-02 12:00 - 13:30
Workplace Policies and Procedures – Worth the Paper They Are Written On –
Updates in Light of COVID-19 Webinar
July 2, 2020
12:00 – 1:30 pm
At a time where there is so much uncertainty, one thing that is certain is that our lives will forever be altered by COVID-19. This is especially true in the workplace. Many employers were understandably unprepared for the challenges they faced when the stay-at-home orders were issued. Now that businesses are slowly re-opening and employers are considering bringing employees back to the workplace, changes should be made to company handbooks, policies and procedures to ensure a safe workplace for everyone and to prepare in the event of future shutdowns. This webinar will address anticipated changes to workplaces and how employers can inform employees of such changes by updating their policies and procedures prior to bringing their employees back to work.

It took nearly 100 years of persistence and passion for women to gain the vote. Finally, in August 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified, granting women across America the right to vote.
This year, we’re celebrating the centennial of this seminal achievement in women’s rights—and honoring the sacrifice of the women who fought for our rights. Join Mary Brennan-Taylor, suffrage historian and avid collector, for this special virtual tour of “The Art of Suffrage” exhibit at the Kenan Center.
