From First Mondays host and Distinguished Professor of Law Pat Reyhan:

Huge amounts of press coverage has been devoted in the last two weeks to the collapse of FTX, a crypto-currency exchange that was heralded just a few months ago as being the savior of crypto currency in general. I don’t know about you, but I hardly understand crypto in principal. Nonetheless, as through the centuries, the “law” has had to understand and adapt and you are living through the process as the law does that (just as people living through the industrial and technological revolutions had to do).But, we are lucky because Professor Chung gets this and is willing to share her expertise with us.

It is a rare opportunity to watch law adapt in real time and you have the opportunity to observe and participate.

Quiet quitting. The Great Resignation. Career correction.  

The relationship between employees and their organizations has been upended by the pandemic. About 20 million people quit their jobs in the first 5 months of 2022 alone, as many sought roles that better fit their lifestyles or values. Millions more are staying on the job, but choosing not to go above and beyond their core responsibilities. 

Amid this shift and intense competition for talent, HR professionals are challenged to retain and boost morale of qualified — and content — employees.  

It’s time for employers to self-reflect on what drove workers to leave, disengage, or sign an offer with another company. This conversation will delve into building a culture that keeps today’s employees motivated, appreciated, and on the job — a core function of HR in the post-pandemic era.  

In this webinar: 

What employees value in today’s climate

Instilling trust and effective wellbeing practices 

Strategies and challenges to building culture in remote, in-person, and hybrid environments 

The importance of internal communication  

Boosting morale through appropriate humor

Legal risks navigating retention 

Panelists will also provide key resources that HR pros can use to dive deeper into topics discussed.
