Navigating Challenges to Workplace Culture and Other New Legal Information Supervisors Need
to Know to Effectively Manage Their Workforce
Summary: Workplace culture is an indicator of how employers may fare in litigation. Is the culture a respectful culture where employees care about one another, or is the culture one of vitriol, indifference, or dysfunction that generates chaos and liability risk? Join Attorneys Ryan Heiden and Kyle Gulya from von Briesen & Roper for the 2024 WPELRA Front-Line Supervisor Training will help new and experienced supervisors understand recent developments in the law that have a significant effect on workplace culture. From the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, to developments in the FMLA involving interference and retaliation, to new EEOC Guidance regarding sexual harassment, supervisors will understand what they need to know to comply and promote a great culture for all employees. This presentation will also focus on the role of supervisors in investigations and how to handle false complaints. Finally, the day will conclude with specific case studies where workplace culture allowed chaos to destroy the reputations of organizations.
