Cultural Considerations for Conducting Business in a Global Economy - Sessions 1 and 2

How to Stop Your Competitors from Raiding Your Workforce and Engaging in Unfair Competition in the U.S. and Canada

With the advent of more and more social networking tools, it is becoming increasingly easier - and often more common - for employees to connect outside of work to talk about work.

Latin and South American countries are becoming increasingly attractive to multi-national companies seeking to open offices on a global basis.

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) within the U.S. Department of Labor is responsible for enforcing the nondiscrimination and affirmative action obligations applicable to federal contractors and subcontractors. Failure to fully comply with these rules puts your government contracts in jeopardy. OFCCP recently received a large increase in funding and personnel, which it intends to devote primarily to enhanced enforcement. Regardless of whether your business is publicly or privately owned, for-profit or non-profit, based in the U.S. or overseas, you need to understand how these new developments will affect your organization.

What In-House Counsel and H.R. Professionals Need to Know

Failure to exercise diligence when hiring new employees can result in workplace violence, fraud, embezzlement and the legal and financial nightmare that can come from hiring someone with a false credential or who is not qualified. To avoid bad hiring decisions, employers increasingly turn to pre-employment background screening as a risk management tool.

While employers in the United States have been conducting background checks on prospective employees for years, it still is a relatively new concept for companies in the EU. American companies have been doing this to uncover resume fraud, screen out potentially dangerous employees, and ascertain whether there has been a past history of criminal or other dangerous behavior.

This webinar is a follow-up to the October 2009 webinar on conducting employee investigations, but will be devoted exclusively to addressing the special and unique issues that arise when investigating employee misconduct in the United States

Conducting internal investigations of employee conduct has been common practice in the U.S. for years, and is only recently becoming a world-wide phenomenon. When grappling with a claim of harassment, discrimination, theft, retaliation, or workplace violence, a multi-national company needs to ensure that its investigation is handled consistently from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and is thorough and professional; otherwise, it faces a real prospect of expensive litigation and significant liability.
