Webinar Description

Learn through real and hypothetical case studies of workplace incidents in remote or isolated locations in various jurisdictions and review noteworthy state law provisions. Review practical applications of harassment prevention procedures. Get access to an employment law expert for the answers to your questions and challenges.
