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.
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.
The global recession has impacted every region in the world. Multi-national companies are being forced to make tough but necessary personnel decisions in all of their operations. One of many challenges is ensuring that layoffs and redundancies are implemented in compliance with local laws, which can vary greatly from country to country and often from region to region within a given jurisdiction.
How to Do Them Right and Minimize Liability
This webinar will focus on what employers should expect as we move deeper into 2021. Key issues our experts will address include government incentives, new laws surrounding remote working, and rightsizing in companies. Register today!
