REPEATED ON TUESDAY AT 3:30pm

The workplace is a setting for personal relationships to blossom-or sour. What happens when these relationships impact co-workers and work productivity? Marijuana use is now legal in several states, but its use, and testing for it, can affect an employer's ability to hire and fire.  Surveillance cameras at work can maintain security but what about protecting privacy?  This session discusses these subjects and how employers should address each in 2023 and beyond.
