If you are like me, you are very excited about the return of live SHRM state conferences and the SHRM national conferences this year! We have coverage of the SHRM-Memphis Legal Conference, the TN SHRM Strategic Leadership Conference in Nashville, and the ALSHRM State Conference & Expo! See our Facebook page for our live interviews from the conferences with the key speakers. We are also looking forward to the TN SHRM State Conference in Nashville and the SHRM21 Annual Conference in Las Vegas, and the KYSHRM State Conference both in August. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
You will love our June issue featuring the Guide to U.S. News Best Lawyers in Labor and Employment Law from Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee. As HR professionals we work with these attorneys every day. This is an opportunity to spotlight them, and to say thank you for all they do for HR professionals. We could not do our jobs without them! If you are looking for legal assistance, look no further than this Guide.
Remember to call on them for guidance during these challenging times as employees who were furloughed or laid off during COVID, including remote workers, return to the office. There are so many issues HR professionals face with the returning workforce. You will find the perfect attorney to help you with all employee relations and other legal issues now that the mask mandate has been lifted. Keep this Guide as a handy reference to use as needed. If you notice your attorney featured, please congratulate them on this prestigious honor.
