2023 Policies for Newly Distributed Workforces: How to Make the "New Office" Work

Recording available after original program date, 2/14/23

In the aftermath of the pandemic, the nature of work has changed.  Employees expect more flexibility. Working from home is no longer a special accommodation.  Employees expect to work remotely, either all of the time or some of the time. Even employers that prefer or require in-person work are having to adapt workplace policies to reflect working-from-home.  This program will review the changing landscape of employment law as more employees work from home:

•    Revising employee handbooks to reflect flexible working schedules and remote work
•    Online harassment and discrimination when working from home
•    Security of work email, sensitive information, and files
•    Tracking time worked and measuring productivity – does this work?
•    “Hoteling” issues – when employees share office space on a rotating basis
