In August, Kirk Turner will provide an update on recent developments in state and federal labor and employment law. Kirk will bring us up to date on the most significant regulatory changes and case law developments in all key areas of labor and employment law, including developments and changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act, Title VII, ADA, ADEA and FMLA.  During this program meeting, Kirk will also provide key training for Human Resources Professionals and will share ideas to help your organization's compliance and training efforts.

Kirk is one of TAHRA's most popular speakers every year. He provides critical legal information in a practical and entertaining manner. He is also a nationally recognized speaker and trainer on practically every area of labor and employment law. You will not want to miss this fast-paced, interactive presentation.

In addition, immediately following the program meeting, Kirk will conduct a two-hour training session for managers and supervisors. He will provide education and training in the critical areas of harassment and discrimination prevention, wage and hour compliance, how to properly communicate expectations and document performance in the workplace, and the importance of conducting clear and accurate performance evaluations. This training will better educate managers and supervisors about the legal importance of their roles as leaders, the need for employment law compliance and how to effectively communicate (including electronic communication and on social media), document and manage employees they have the opportunity to lead.
