Broadening Security Concerns in Today's Workplace
12:00 pm to 1:00 pm Speaker Presentation
Presented by Jeff McKissack
Physical, data and reputational risks will be the three main topics of this presentation as we look at those dynamics that can put people in the emergency room and their employers in either the courtroom and/or the newsroom. Often today, what happens in the ER affects HR just as what happens in the PD can affect PR.
What are the hot buttons related to these three main areas, what are strategies that can help those in HR mitigate such risks, and what are the suggested practices related to documentation of the same to avoid potential claims of negligence against you or your company? These all will be addressed as we all seek to proactively create more safe and secure workplaces today for us, our people, and our patrons.

But when asked, Jeff best sums up his message and mission by saying, "my goal is to help you spot trouble 'before' trouble spots you," and in today's world, that is a message beneficial to us all, both personally and professionally.
Legal Presentation by Farsheed Fozouni
Topic: The FTC's Attempt to Reshape Competition - Banning Noncompetes
The FTC has issued its final rule banning noncompete agreements in most (though not all) circumstances. Legal challenges have already begun, but if the rule is upheld, it will have far reaching ramifications across state lines and industries. The rule changes are substantial and will impact most noncompete agreements already in effect and ban them altogether prospectively. Some best practices as we navigate these changes will also be discussed to protect employers, as well as to protect the limited situations in which noncompetes will still be allowed.
