Employment laws in practice: Are you compliant?

Employment laws affect the day-to-day work of our practices and employees, especially those team members responsible for human resource management. Compliance with these laws is imperative to minimize risk, and avoid fines and penalties. It’s also key to creating a respectful work environment and retaining talented employees. The entire leadership team—practice owners, managers, administrators, and supervisors—must know and understand employment laws, and be ready to recognize when action is needed to correct noncompliance. In this webinar, learn how to ensure your organization is in compliance.

This webinar was developed in partnership with the AVMA Trust. 

Participants can expect to learn about:

  • Employment laws that affect your veterinary workplace
  • Signs that your organization is not in compliance
  • Actions you can take to minimize risks for employees and the practice 
  • How compliance can help you create a respectful and collaborative work environment, and retain talent
