The next few weeks will include several free educational opportunities from ASA. These upcoming ASA webinars may be able to help you improve sales, avoid legislation, and more.

Aug. 6—”Navigating New Overtime Rules: Key Changes and Legal Challenges for Staffing Employers“
A new regulation published by the U.S. Department of Labor significantly increases the level of compensation needed to make a worker exempt from federal overtime provisions. Lawsuits were filed to challenge the new rule—one injunction has been issued so far, and future litigation is likely. Attorney Peter Spanos of Taylor English will provide an overview of how the rule relates to staffing businesses and discuss the potential effects of future litigation. Sponsored by Taylor English.

Aug. 13—”The Benefits of Building a National ADR Program: Staying Out of Court and Mitigating Risk“
Alternative dispute resolution can be a critical tool in resolving disputes and reducing risks, but if your ADR program is regional or fragmented, it may not be serving your company well. Attorneys Neil Alexander of Littler, Sarah Kroll-Rosenbaum of Akerman, and Ariel Zion of Insight Global, along with Collin Williams of New Era ADR, will discuss how having a national ADR program that uses both mediation and arbitration, or even a combination of both, can improve productivity and possibly help keep your company out of court. Sponsored by New Era ADR.

Aug. 20—”Creative Marketing Strategies for Generating Leads and Scaling Staffing Sales“
If conventional sales methods aren’t taking your staffing firm where you want it to go, let Brad Bialy of Haley Marketing explain how to combine traditional sales tactics with digital marketing strategies to engage and convert clients with a powerful, multifaceted approach.
