About This IAML AudioPro ConferenceSM:
With employers being forced to lay off hundreds, and sometimes thousands of employees each week; and with the Obama Administration's strong pro-employee agenda, employers face the "perfect storm" of legal risks. In this environment, reduction in workforce decisions can result, not in just one or two lawsuits being filed, but potentially hundreds, including possible class action litigation. The stakes have never been higher. We will discuss what employers should do to reduce their legal risks when planning, carrying out and managing a reduction in force.
