Please join us for an informative webinar on the latest legal changes impacting Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity (IE&D) in the workplace.  With the new administration issuing executive orders aimed at eliminating IE&D initiatives and policies in the workplace – and punishing employers who promote such policies – it is essential for employers to stay informed and compliant in the rapidly changing landscape. This session will provide:

  • A comprehensive overview of recent executive orders affecting workplace IE&D policies;
  • Key changes in enforcement priorities related to IE&D initiatives;
  • Legal considerations and best practices for employers implementing or adjusting IE&D programs.

This webinar will give you the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the shifting legal and political environment surrounding workplace IE&D.

Littler attorneys, Asha Santos and Ellen Lemire, will be joined by Larry Weiss, ACC Northeast Board Member, and Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary of Angiodynamics, who will offer you the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the shifting legal and political environment surrounding workplace IE&D.

The legal landscape has shifted quickly in the early days of the new Trump Administration. Changes happening every day have increased the conflicting priorities for in-house counsel.  Yet, employers need to be aware of current and potential changes to important employment and immigration laws, regulations, and practices to deftly navigate these developments.  This webinar will provide strategies to in-house counsel to not only stay informed of the shifting landscape but to also effectively prioritize their resources to address these challenges.

Immigration:

  • Potential travel bans and restrictions;
  • ICE I-9 audits and workplace raids;
  • Legislation by delay and adjudication – planning for increased denials and slower processing times for immigration benefits;
  • Termination of Parole.

Employment:

  • DEI programs (and paths forward);
  • EEOC updates;
  • Affirmative action & federal contracting;
  • Wage and hour issues;
  • Joint employer standards (including H-1B);
