Mental Health and Optimizing the Work Environment
In the United States, one in five adults will experience a diagnosable mental illness in any given year. Do you know how much depression alone costs your organization? The well-being of employees is an increasing concern among employers, and employers have a role to play in fostering wellbeing amongst their workforce. However, it is often difficult to know where to turn or what to do as employers to help employees with their mental healthcare needs. In this session, special guest speaker, Kacie Kelly, Chief Innovation Officer at Meadows Mental Health Institute, will share resources, tools, and innovative strategies for facilitating mental well-being across the workplace.

FP Quickfire Session: The Workplace Transformation

Surprise Government Inspections
Over the last few years, the pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to businesses throughout the country. As a result, businesses may have focused on the immediate need of complying with ever-changing CDC guidelines instead of staying up to date in areas like Wage & Hour, OSHA, and NLRB enforcement. However, the legal landscape for employers has seen many updates over the past year, and regulators are cracking down now more than ever as government agencies continue to strengthen their ranks.

Understanding the Flexible Work Trend and HR Analytics for Workplace Planning
Employee expectations have changed, and employers are having to broaden the definition of productivity and collaboration. Flexibility will continue to play in the future of work and now HR professionals are relying on artificial intelligence tools to make informed decisions. Learn key concepts behind data analytics; how data analytics have been used by top companies; ability to identify the potential legal issues; and ways to mitigate the risk.

Antitrust and the HR Professional
Antitrust violations may not be on the HR Professionals’ radar but should be as states and federal enforcement agencies have made clear that they will prosecute violations. Now is the time to understand how antitrust law applies to the HR Department and ensure compliance.

Helping HR Professionals Navigate Cryptocurrency and Blockchain in the Workplace
Many employers and their human resources teams have heard of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency but have no idea what those terms means or how they can apply to workplace law.

Diversity Training that Complies with the New Law

Florida’s Stop WOKE Act amends the state’s antidiscrimination laws to forbid employers from requiring employees to attend diversity training that advances or promotes certain viewpoints relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. Many employers may need to modify existing DE&I training programs to ensure they comply with the new law. In this interactive program, participants will identify DE&I training components that may pose a risk, develop strategies to modify training programs, and explore inclusive ways to address sensitive and important DE&I issues.

Understanding and Solving Florida’s Talent Gap Crisis
This session will discuss key learnings from the Florida Chamber Foundation’s Workforce Needs Study, explore the future of work and present strategies for Florida job creators to work collectively as a business community to secure Florida’s talent and build America’s best workforce. Special guest speaker Mark Wilson, President, Florida Chamber.

Top Wage and Hour Trends for 2022 and What Employers Should Do
Change is coming for employers on many fronts in 2022, and perhaps no area will be as unpredictable – and carry as much risk – as wage and hour law. A combination of factors, including the ongoing workforce shortage, an appetite for regulatory reform, pro-organized labor sentiment, and an employee-favoring administration, will require employers to focus more on wage and hour compliance. When even the slightest misstep in a complex area could cost your organization dearly, you can’t leave things to chance.
