If you’re in HR, you’ve probably misinterpreted the law at some point and found yourself looking back a few years later with a facial expression that looked something like: 🤮 😥

It’s okay. We get it. You’ve been tasked with a whole slew of legally nuanced responsibilities and minimal training and support to set yourself up for success. Well, not anymore.

Whether you’re looking to level up your legal savvy on reasonable accommodations and terminations or reduce your risk when it comes to employee investigations and discrimination claims, we’ve got you covered. In this session, Chief People Officer at Ethena, Melanie Naranjo, and Employment Attorney from Littler, Lisa Horgan, did a deep dive candid discussion of common legal mistakes HR professionals make, and how to avoid them.
