As the new year begins, many company leaders reflect on the past year, remembering both the triumphs and missteps of their organization and perhaps others that made headlines (think #MeToo). In 2019, businesses are resolving to improve and are focusing on employment practices. 

If your business has not already set its business resolutions for the new year, we recommend taking some time to consider the areas listed below where your company may want to focus this year.

  • Handbook review
  • Wage and hour audit
  • Worker classification audit
  • Sexual harassment and discrimination training
  • Employee training
  • Employee performance management
  • Protecting trade secrets
  • Social media
  • Medical marijuana

Many of these issues have been or will soon be addressed in our “Business Resolutions” series on The Williams Parker Labor and Employment Blog. Visit williamsparker.com/LEblog to read more and subscribe.
