Overview:

By the time you hire your first employee, you really need a handbook. Handbooks cover the basic policies–dress codes, vacation policies, et cetera–and set the standard for how the company runs. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is paying close attention, especially when it comes to union organizing. The Stericycle decision will affect you, even if you don’t think unions would ever come near your business.

Additionally, new laws such as the Pregnant Worker’s Fairness Act (PWFA) and the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections (PUMP) Act have changed how we approach maternity leaves and nursing mothers.

What about social media? And AI with things such as ChatGPT and Bard? Your handbook needs a good update and this will give you basic guidelines for getting your handbook up to date.

Speaker Detail

Suzanne Lucas

Suzanne Lucas, better known as the Evil HR Lady, spent a decade in the realm of corporate HR before embarking on a new mission to enhance the world of work for all individuals. Throughout her tenure in Corporate HR, she hired, fired, trained, and provided HR coaching at all levels, ranging from freshly recruited 16-year-old grocery store cashiers to Senior Vice Presidents. Suzanne had a wealth of experience in guiding people through complex legal scenarios and providing support and coaching to those who had lost their jobs, enabling them to strive toward success once again. Suzanne jumped on the AI revolution early and has conducted research into the practical uses of AI technology and its impact on HR. Additionally, her work demonstrates the difficulty of overcoming bias within tools such as ChatGPT, Bard, and other AI interfaces. Following the launch of the Evil HR Lady Website, Suzanne's impact multiplied exponentially as she trained thousands of individuals, delivered speeches on an international stage, and published articles in prominent outlets such as Inc Magazine and CBS News. Her relentless efforts are steadily inching her closer to her goal of empowering people to flourish in their professional journeys. Not only is Suzanne passionate about her profession, but she also has a delightful sense of humor. In 2020, she decided to pursue training to become an improv comedian. Honing her skills at the renowned Groundlings School, she began performing with a local ensemble, bringing laughter to diverse audiences, from local bars to academic conferences. Interestingly, the principles of improv comedy proved to be valuable tools in helping people unleash their full potential. Suzanne combined her two passions, career development and improv comedy, to craft unique training programs that fostered effective communication, built confidence, and inspired laughter throughout the process. Suzanne's devotion to her work and her desire to see people thrive in their respective roles was palpable. She cherished the opportunity to aid individuals in improving their performance in whatever occupation they pursued. With excitement and anticipation, Suzanne eagerly looked forward to collaborating with prospective clients to develop and deliver workshops that would enable their employees to unleash their true capabilities and be the best versions of themselves.
