Staffing World delivers the most comprehensive, diverse, and engaging learning opportunities in the staffing, recruiting, and workforce solutions industry. The convention, which takes place Oct. 25–27 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, features world-renowned keynote speakers and carefully selected learning sessions, including “Best Practices in Navigating Remote Work.”

During this session, legal experts from Taylor English Duma LLP will review the various regulations that came about during the pandemic and let you know which ones are likely to stick. They will also address all the potential legal pitfalls to be aware of as your firm navigates the new world of remote work. For example, did you know if a worker trips and falls down the stairs at their remote office, there could be workers’ compensation issues? This is one session on the modern workplace that you cannot afford to miss.
