Webinar Descriptions Navigating the U.S. Business Immigration Maze: Practical Guidance for Employers √¢¬Ä¬ì Tuesday, November 17 Global competition continues to rise, increasing pressure on U.S. employers to attract and retain the world's best and brightest talent.√Ç 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.√Ç In addition, talented international students graduate each year with few options to use their training for U.S. employers.√Ç As the U.S. evolves into a more knowledge-driven economy, employers face diminishing options for using talented foreign workers.√Ç 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 intra-company talent transfers
  • H1b cap strategies: To STEM and beyond!
  • Keeping them legal:√Ç Managing the compliance patchwork and the I-9

Let’s Talk About Sex: Workplace Indecencies and Indiscretions – Best Practices for Canadian Colleges and Universities – Thursday, November 19 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 offences unfortunately tend to attract high-profile media attention, which can in turn have catastrophic consequences for educational institutions, including the degradation of workplace morale, program quality and institutional brand. The speakers will offer higher education employers guidance and best practices for proactively and decisively addressing the following workplace issues:

  • Sexual harassment √¢¬Ä¬ì employers' obligations, responsibilities, and valuable lessons learned from recent cases.
  • Workplace romances √¢¬Ä¬ì are anti-fraternization policies a good idea? What type of conduct can an employer legitimately prohibit in the workplace?
  • Off-duty conduct √¢¬Ä¬ì when do an employee's off-duty indiscretions become an employer's concern?

Who Should Attend? The webinar is an invitation-only event exclusively for clients of ELA member law firms.√Ç  The information presented will be of particular interest to:

  • In-house Counsel
  • Human Resources Professionals
  • College and University Administrators
