TOPIC DETAILS
Labor Law for the HR Professional
Presenters: Richard Hankins, Alston Correll
Labor law can be a particularly complex area for human resource professionals. Especially with the significant changes to the nation’s labor laws that have taken place in recent history. This presentation will provide an overview of issues today’s HR professional has to deal with including union organizing drives including campaigns and elections, unfair labor practice charges, collective bargaining and contract administration, and union issues arising out of mergers and acquisitions, successorship and business or plant shutdowns.
Cybersecurity – Employees, Hackers & the Advanced Persistent Threat
Presenters: Justine Phillips, Ray Aghaian
All employers store personal employee data and have affirmative obligations under state and federal laws to secure such information. Employers must not only protect and secure employee information, sometimes employers find themselves protecting the company against employee intrusions. Justine and Ray will explain the vulnerabilities employers face, best practices and prophylactic measures to protect employee information and data, and what employers should do if they discover or suspect a data breach.
@Employers Guide to Navigating #SocialMedia
Presenter: Seth Borden
In recent years the popularity and participation in social media has grown immensely. Employers must now pay close attention to issues that can arise out of the use of the numerous social media platforms that are available. This presentation will focus on issues pertinent to employers including traditional labor issues, employee privacy issues, employment law issues, social media use in litigation, and social media policies.
