HR23: Dear Helga's Back and She Has New and Even More Difficult Issues Confronting Your Law Firms

As law firm management professionals and those with law firm human resources responsibilities, we've all said it: "I would write a book, but who would believe these stories are true?" Unfortunately, many of our tales are far too real. Whether the situation involves workplace sexual harassment, conducting internal investigations, transgender employees or others, the legal workplace has become far more complicated to manage. This fast-paced, interactive and entertaining session will focus on uncommon HR issues in the law firm context and examine practical, business-focused solutions that you can use immediately to solve those problems. 

Objectives: 

• Identify when a complicated issue arises. Identification is often overlooked. 
• If administrators and HR professionals do not recognize that there is an issue, they cannot solve the problem. 
• Receive tools with which to solve these novel or confusing law firm concerns. 
• Discuss how to communicate with the "higher-ups" within law firms so that they are best able to communicate the "whys" and "hows" of solving these problems. 
• Recognize practical and business-focused solutions to often complicated and difficult law firm employee-related issues.
