WORKSHOP: EMPLOYEE ISSUES KEEPING YOU UP AT NIGHT?

November 12, 2024 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM (CST)

Description


As part of our partnership with Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, one of our newest Catalyst Investor Chamber Impact Partners, we are rolling out an informative learning series, "In the Know: Legal Essentials for Small Businesses." We are kicking off this series this fall, with three more sessions planned for 2025.

This workshop series will explore various topics to support our small business and non-profit members. Join us for our first workshop in this learning series on November 12! Thank you to Sesh Coworking for hosting the workshop.

Employee Issues Keeping You Up at Night?

Whether you are a small business or non-profit, your most important and valuable asset is your staff. Managing your employees may also be one of the most frequent causes of sleepless nights for you! Understanding how employment laws impact your organization and taking the right steps to protect both your employees and your business may help you avoid another sleepless night.  

Key takeaways from this session:
  1. Which employment laws apply to your business or organization?
  2. Best practices for workplace policies.
  3. How to hire, onboard, discipline, and terminate employees to minimize risk. 
Join us for a workshop to learn about some strategic solutions to better manage your workplace and spend less time tossing and turning at night!

About Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani

Five decades ago in San Francisco, Stu Gordon and Don Rees put aside their rival allegiances to Cal and Stanford to create a law firm dedicated to providing outstanding client service, and based upon an internal culture of hard work, responsiveness, and camaraderie.  In 2014, the firm’s name expanded to “Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, LLP” in order to recognize and honor the significant roles played by partners Miles Scully and Roger Mansukhani in contributing to our meteoric growth over the past decade.

In 2019, GRSM became the first and only law firm in the nation’s history to open offices in all 50 states. It now stands among the 15 largest firms in the United States comprising more than 1,400 lawyers and over 50 different practice and industry groups in 80 national offices located throughout the country. However, despite this exceptionally rapid expansion, we have nonetheless maintained our excellent culture as well as a keenly focused commitment to client service throughout.
