Diversity and inclusion, once identified as a US-specific concern, has now become a key global objective for multinationals everywhere. How does the concept of diversity and inclusion vary across regions? How can the employer obtain demographic and other data around the world to assist in measuring diversity without violating local employment laws and data privacy requirements? What legal and cultural limitations affect what we ask in individual countries? This webinar will answer your questions and provide best practices regarding global diversity and inclusion, and means to measure and enhance it.

On 16 April 2019, the EU Whistleblowing Directive was passed by the European Parliament, giving EU-based employee whistleblowers many of the same protections long enjoyed by employees in the US. What does this mean for your EU-based business? To what extent will national laws implementing the Directive create a variety of local requirements across the EU? What do you need to know and how do you as a business comply? The EU specialist speakers will discuss the implications, provide best practices and answer your questions.

Your employees suddenly turn up in a foreign country or exotic locale without management knowledge or approval carrying out remote work from their laptops, and intend to remain indefinitely. Or an employee wishes to return to his or her native country to spend extended time with family during the COVID-19 crisis. What issues of work authorization, permanent establishment tax exposure, local social security requirements, cross-border employment law, workplace injury, and security of electronic communications arise, and how can they be handled? How can we establish a uniform approach to cross-border remote work, which both treats employees equitably and protects the company from exposures which it has no business interest in incurring. In this webinar a panel will discuss the challenges for companies when employees request to work from another country and share best practices.

Now that the vaccination process in countries has started, difficult issues for employers arise. Can the employer ask a candidate in an interview whether he has received a vaccination and require proof of same? Can the employer make vaccination a condition of hiring or continued employment? Is a specific business necessity beyond the employer’s general duty of care needed to justify a vaccination requirement? If a vaccination requirement is valid, what duties of accommodation of religious beliefs, disability status or other characteristics does the employer have? In this webinar you will get answers to these data privacy and employment questions. Of course, you will have the opportunity to ask all questions you have!
