This webinar will provide guidance from a collaborative group of NAWBO Premier member attorneys who've been working together on employment- and workforce-related pandemic challenges. They will share their insights and knowledge on how to best protect your workplace, employees and business from risk as companies begin to return to onsite work. You’ll learn the policies and procedures that should be in place to address COVID-19 health and safety concerns, what to do in the event of a COVID-19 exposure at work, best practices for communicating with your staff and how to protect your company from new and unique risks related to the COVID-19 public health crisis.

Community Connects Call
Every Wednesday at 5 p.m. ET

Grab your favorite beverage and join us by video (so we can see each other just like we would in an in-person meeting)! We’ll connect, share best practices and support one another in an interactive chat format. This is a safe space to share since the calls are not being recorded.  Introduce yourself as you participate on the call.

This is what you can expect:

Each week, we will spend the first 20 minutes of the Zoom call checking in to see how we are doing. Think about sharing stories of inspiration and innovation of how you are managing during this challenging time. The call will transition to a “think tank” for us to help brainstorm and support you with business challenges resulting from the current business crisis/environment we are experiencing. We will spend the final 40 minutes of our Community Connect call supporting up to four people each week. A person will present their business challenge and everyone else will then have the opportunity to share ideas in “popcorn style.” It will be up to the person sharing to follow-up with the various people who are problem solving.  This can be done by writing down the person’s name and looking them up in the Member Directory on the nawbo.org web site.  

No need to register; simply join Zoom using the meeting credentials below:
