Managing Communications During an Internal InvestigationZach Olson – Monday 8/26, 7:30am – 8:45am As an employer, what you say is just as important as what you do. This holds especially true for an organization in the throes of an internal investigation, when, in addition to tough decisions about how to appropriately investigate and resolve a matter, legal and HR teams are facing rumor mills, questions and scrutiny from other staff members, board members, media and customers. From employees, shareholders and boards of directors to the media and online trolls, the task of managing the internal and external communications during an investigation can be daunting. This panel will use real life examples of companies that have navigated these challenges well, avoiding undue reputational harm and litigation in the process, and those that have fallen short and suffered the consequences. This panel will outline best practices for communicating during and after an investigation and how to avoid common pitfalls when faced with an internal crisis, as well as legal parameters for what can be said, and confidentiality and privilege considerations. Zach Olson is President of Infinite Global. |

Navigating the New Harassment & #MeToo CA Laws LandscapeBeth Whittenbury – Monday 8/26, 2:00pm – 3:15pm Wondering how to comply with the sexual harassment training requirements or if you even have to? Questioning whether you need to change your harassment and discrimination policies and if so how? What exactly do you have to pass out to employees each year to comply with new California sexual harassment laws? Who needs to be on our Board of Directors and by when? What do they mean by “practical examples inclusive of harassment based on gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation”? Many are confused and if you are saying #MeToo, then you need to come to this lively session which will cover all the new requirements for employers under California harassment and discrimination laws. We’ll discuss how to comply with your new obligations in this area. We’ll explore unique ideas for preventing sexual harassment by going beyond just today’s legal obligations. You’ll see actual policy clauses that you can incorporate into your handbooks. You’ll walk out knowing you’re covered and not fearing that your #Time’sUp because you don’t know the new rules!
