From election cycles to social justice issues, today’s workplace presents complex and sensitive challenges ER leaders must manage. During periods of increased focus on political or issue-based expression, employees tend to voice more concerns. At the same time, there are stronger expectations for both psychological and physical safety, along with changes in federal enforcement priorities. All of these factors influence how policies are enforced and investigations are conducted.
Join us on September 3 for a panel discussion with Jeffrey Rivera, Employee Relations Director at Tampa General Hospital, Hon. Stephanie Jones, Founder & CEO of Omega Daughter, LLC and Katie Wilson, Senior Director of Employee Relations at Qualcomm as we break down the practical and legal realities shaping ER strategy today.
You’ll learn:
- Practical frameworks from ER leaders to evaluate when political or issue-based expression may raise policy, retaliation or bias concerns — and how to address them with consistency and fairness
- Best practices for updating policies and training managers to handle politically sensitive situations while protecting psychological and physical safety in clinical and non-clinical settings
- Insights from a Federal Judge (and former EEOC Senior Trial Attorney) on evolving EEOC enforcement priorities—including retaliation claims and DEI initiatives—and how these trends shape workplace investigations and outcomes, with practical guidance for ER teams on adapting their practices effectively.
This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the practitioners who navigate these challenges every day, alongside a judge who educates, investigates, and helps others interpret them in court. You’ll leave with practical, actionable strategies to safeguard your people, strengthen your culture, and protect your organization.
