Employer Summit 2023: New Workplace Challenges

Webinar

Employers continue to face a new and ever-growing array of challenges, ranging from the use of artificial intelligence to standard employment agreement provisions, religious, disability, and pregnancy accommodations, and managing today’s hybrid workforce, to the role of ESG and DEI initiatives, physical and cyber security, new forms of discrimination claims, and the Biden administration’s impact on unions, the labor shortage, and other federal workplace regulations. Cozen O'Connor's Labor & Employment Department invites you to attend our third annual employer summit, which will be a virtual event taking place over two partial days. This dynamic program also includes practical and strategic sessions offering discussions and solutions for workplace issues and the challenges posed by increased regulation on the federal, state, and local levels.
