Don’t fall behind and out of compliance by not keeping up with these changes!
COOS BAY, OR | On Friday, April 20, 2018 the South Coast Oregon Employer Council will host a DOUBLE seminar presented by Jennifer Bouman-Steagall. Topics covered in the seminar are:
Mind Boggling, Hair Pulling, Head Shaking Employment Law Update
Understanding regulatory changes and how they may impact your industry or organization is a critical part of enterprise risk management. You have probably thought about whether to have certain policies and if the policies you do have are good ones, but have you ever considered using a change in the law to initiate internal conversations about organizational change in other areas? In this informative program, we review changes in the law with particular focus on Oregon Equal Pay Act, Oregon Paid Sick Leave, Predictive Scheduling and a few other legal changes on the horizon. Do you or your staff know the latest changes in the law? Take this seminar and be sure!
Diversity Playbook: The Unexpected Challenges of Playing Nice At Work
Be kind, be respectful and play nice with others. More than just playground rules from our parents, these social value propositions should be the hallmark of every workplace. Sadly, they are not. Social division, religious beliefs, political ideologies, misinformation, and overall bad behavior continue to create unnecessary barriers to our corporate commitment to embody EEO principles of equality and tolerance. We are part of an ever-changing and increasingly diverse workforce whose members represent a variety of cultures, backgrounds, and social experiences, and it is critical that we find an appropriate balance between these competing interests. Is your workplace prepared to address and resolve Issues of harassment, bullying, discrimination and retaliation?
