Webinar Recording: Navigating and Addressing Cultural Flashpoints in the Workplace from a Legal Perspective

About the Program

Workplaces are not immune from polarization in American society.  Cultural conflicts are on the rise, whether stemming from politics, current events, or international affairs.  Those conflicts may intersect with protected classifications such as religion, race, LGBTQ+ identity and national origin.  We expect these trends will only accelerate in an election year.  Employers need effective strategies to lower the temperature, ensure compliance with the law, and stay focused on the business.  

As we enter the political primary season, join two employment attorneys from our Cultural Flashpoints Team for an essential in-depth look at these issues from the legal perspective, including:

• Common workplace flashpoints and what we expect for 2024; 
• Practical tips for navigating those flashpoints;
• How to develop a consistent approach that aligns with your company’s values and objectives; 
• Benchmarking – what are other employers doing?  and
• How to update your policies and training to empower your company for the current moment.
