With the magnitude of changes in federal employment laws and regulations that employers have been expected to navigate in the last year, many are realizing that they need some more information and support. This presentation will provide you with a roadmap on the following topics:

• Maintaining your diversity, equity, and inclusion objectives while complying with non-discrimination laws;

• Updating your employee handbooks to recognize expanded protected classes and remote workforces;

• Implementing accommodation procedures for pregnant and nursing employees and employees with sincerely held religious beliefs;

• Reviewing your investigatory protocols responsive to employee complaints of harassment; and

• Preparing for the utilization of AI technology.

Please bring your questions, and we’ll navigate a few scenarios together! This program is relevant to ALL funder types.

What is the "Midwest Partnership"?

The Midwest Partnership Series is a collaboration between the Council of Michigan Foundations, Indiana Philanthropy Alliance, Philanthropy Missouri, and Philanthropy Ohio.

Programming is primarily a monthly webinar that connects funders across the four states and are typically designed for community foundations, corporate foundations and giving programs, and/or family foundations. Occasionally, a program will be relevant to all foundation types -- and all foundation types may register for any program. Also occassionally, the states partner to host an in-person learning opportunity.

Participation in the webinars is free for Member organizations; Non-Members may register for events for a fee of $50 by emailing info@philmo.org.
