Aired: June 18, 2025
Duration: 1 hour

Compliant workplace policies and well-crafted employee handbooks are crucial for an organization’s success, ensuring adherence to relevant laws, promoting consistent and ethical business practices and fostering employee morale. But how does HR address policy and handbook management in the face of rapidly changing legal requirements and workplace challenges to maintain compliance and support organizational stability and employee well-being?

In this 60-minute webinar, attorney Kate Bischoff, founder of k8bisch LLC, a law and HR consulting firm in Minneapolis, will examine ways to handle policy development in the current evolving environment. She will discuss how emerging legal and operational issues (such as diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), employee leaves, AI use and return-to-office initiatives) impact employee handbooks and policies, and how HR can decide what policy changes are needed.

Attendees will learn:

• Strategies for tracking legal developments that may impact your organization’s policies
• How to determine which policies belong in the employee handbook
• Ways to address emerging trends that impact policies
• And more!
