Gunster’s labor & employment law practice team invites you to attend these free, 90-minute webinars presented by the Employment Law Alliance next week.
These webinars may be of particular interest to in-house counsel, HR professionals and employee relations specialists, as well as corporate executives, business owners and college/university administrators.
Business immigration
Global competition continues to rise, increasing pressure on U.S. employers to attract and retain the world’s best and brightest talent.
By 2018, the shortage of qualified STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) workers for open positions is expected to exceed 200,000. At the same time, U.S. employers fight each year for the chance to enter the lottery for scarce specialty worker visas, which are filled within days of the government’s opening bell.
At the Nov. 17 webinar, immigration lawyers from across the nation will address the following business immigration hot topics and help demystify the U.S. immigration process to keep you competitive in the hunt for global talent.
- L-1 visas: Pitfalls and strategies for intracompany talent transfers
- H-1B cap strategies: To STEM and beyond!
- Keeping them legal: Managing the compliance patchwork and the I-9
- Who’s knocking? Handling the H-1B Audit
- Understanding the changes to the Visa Bulletin
- Best practice takeaways

Workplace indiscretions
This webinar brings together management-side labor and employment lawyers from across Canada who will address one of the most pressing issues facing education employers today: sexual indecencies and indiscretions in the workplace.
These types of on-campus offenses tend to attract high-profile media attention, which in turn may have catastrophic consequences for educational institutions, including the degradation of workplace morale, program quality and institutional brand.
The Nov. 19 webinar speakers will offer higher education employers guidance and best practices for proactively and decisively addressing the following workplace issues:
- Sexual harassment – employers’ obligations, responsibilities, and valuable lessons learned from recent cases.
- Workplace romances – are anti-fraternization policies a good idea? What type of conduct can an employer legitimately prohibit in the workplace?
- Off duty conduct – when do an employee’s off-duty indiscretions become an employer’s concern?
“Let’s talk about sex”: Workplace indecencies & indiscretions – best practices for Canadian colleges & universities
