Recruiting, Hiring and Retaining Employees: Attracting Top Candidates While Avoiding Legal Pitfalls

Employers are facing what has been called “the Great Resignation” as employees choose to change careers, job hop or retire early in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. With another wave of resignations and job shuffling expected in 2022, recruitment and retention continues to be one of the top business concerns. Flexibility and incentives appear to be key to success on both fronts – whether we are talking about remote work, financial incentives, training and advancement opportunities, or other more traditional benefits.  Of course, changes in employment terms come with legal considerations.  During this presentation , some of the issues that we will tackle include the following:

• How to properly structure signing bonuses, retention bonuses, deferred compensation and other valuable methods of compensation
• How to create the best policies for flexible schedules, including remote work opportunities
• Other incentives being offered to employees and the best practices for implementation 
• Unfair competition
• When to have a non-compete agreement
