Topics 

DEI, Anti-Discrimination, and Civility: Where Are We Now? 

Teresa Shulda, Charles McClellan 

You’ve probably seen news stories and think-pieces about how governments and companies alike are approaching the subjects of diversity, equity, inclusion, and discrimination in the workplace. In this session, we’ll catch you up on the new administration’s executive orders addressing DEI, how companies are reacting to the DEI whiplash, and how courts are deciding cases rooted in DEI initiatives. We’ll also talk about how your organization’s DEI and anti-discrimination policies and procedures can remain compliant. Finally, we’ll discuss how the role of civility in the workplace (and enforcement of civility expectations) can foster a productive work environment. 

Kansas Law Mail Bag 

Forrest Rhodes, Jr., Sarah Otto 

Employment law issues often arise under federal authority, but there are a handful of state laws that Kansas employers regularly grapple with. This session will answer your questions and provide a primer on a variety of these state law issues, including wage deductions, garnishments, unemployment claims, weapons possession, and workers' compensation.
