A Look at the Executive Forum
2020 brought a huge shift to the way that we work. The combination of the COVID-19 pandemic and an increased focus on social injustices, especially systemic racism, and economic inequality, forced many of us to reconsider not just how we do work, but also why we do it and for whom we do it. And it’s given us an opportunity to build better processes, policies, and principles that allow for the workplace to be more inclusive and better support employees with different needs.
To explore what an inclusive return to in-person work might look like later this year, we brought in Jacqueline Kalk, a shareholder at Littler Mendelson P.C., who specializes in employment litigation and counseling. We covered tactical next steps as well as how to build a strategy that works for your company and your employees.
