The Future of California Business in a COVID-19 Environment- NelsonJobs Webinar

With California’s economic reopening, companies are adjusting their financial, operational, and workforce strategies to align with our state’s new economic and workplace realities. As a follow-up to our April 2020 NELSONtalks, this webinar continues the conversation about COVID-19’s impact on California businesses. We’re bringing together three experts to discuss the economic, legal, and employment considerations that will influence business strategy and decision-making in our altered business environment.

Webinar topics will include:

• • How the California labor market data are shaping up
  • Signs that indicate the economy is on a stable path forward
  • Housing market data to watch
  • What happens economically if another full shelter-in-place order is enacted
  • How employers can effectively manage the legal risks associated with telework
  • The steps employers must follow to safely return employees to work
  • How to ensure compliance with COVID-19 laws, including the CARES Act
  • How the rise in remote work impacts the future of recruiting
  • Opportunities of tapping into a broader national and global candidate base
  • What’s ahead on the candidate landscape: greater opportunities, increased diversity

Join us for our speakers’ insightful presentations followed by a live question and answer session.
