๐Ÿ” 2025 brought rising reverse-discrimination lawsuits, new pregnancy accommodation rules, and regulatory whiplash. Now 2026 is shaping up to deliver even more changesโ€”from NLRB updates to new DOL overtime thresholds to shifting religious-accommodation expectations.

๐Ÿ“˜ In this session, employment law attorney Anniken Davenport will walk through a 2025 HR checklist, anticipated 2026 handbook changes (with suggested language), DEI compliance guidance, new EEOC developments, pregnancy-related updates, and whatโ€™s coming next from the DOL.

๐Ÿงญ Youโ€™ll come away with practical, ready-to-use strategies for updating policies, strengthening compliance, and preparing for emerging federal, state, and local mandates.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Managing underachievers isnโ€™t about applying pressure โ€” itโ€™s about applying strategy.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Today's graphic breaks down 6 practical ways to flip around your underachievers, helping you boost engagement, confidence, and accountability.

โœจ From raising expectations to letting people lead, these small shifts can spark major improvement across your team.

Hereโ€™s the big takeaway: when you coach with intention, people rise to meet the moment.

๐Ÿ‘ถ HR teams and managers are under growing pressure to correctly accommodate employees who are expanding their families or dealing with pregnancy-related challengesโ€”and the EEOC is making it crystal clear that compliance is non-negotiable. Lawsuits are surging, and the definition of โ€œpregnancy-relatedโ€ now includes infertility, stillbirth, early miscarriage, milk expression and more.

โš–๏ธ Employers must now ensure pregnant workers can stay on the jobโ€”even if they canโ€™t perform every essential function. That may mean reshuffling duties, offering light-duty roles that look nothing like the original job and taking new, proactive steps to preserve pay and benefits. Failing to do so can expose your organization to significant risk.

๐Ÿ’ก In this session, employment law attorney Anniken Davenport will guide you through a practical, commonsense framework for accommodating employees from conception through postpartum. Youโ€™ll learn:

๐Ÿ“ When leave is and isnโ€™t a reasonable accommodation

โœ”๏ธ Accommodations the EEOC says you must approveโ€”no notes, no forms, no delay

๐Ÿ”ง Practical adjustments that wonโ€™t disrupt operations

๐Ÿ’ฌ Clear, consistent communication, fair treatment, and proactive leadership arenโ€™t just โ€œnice-to-havesโ€โ€”theyโ€™re your strongest defense against costly legal disputes.

โš–๏ธ When employees feel blindsided, ignored, or left in the dark, trust erodes fast. And once trust breaks, lawsuits often follow.

๐ŸŒฑ Building transparency, addressing concerns promptly, and keeping morale healthy go a long way in preventing problems from ever reaching a courtroom.

๐Ÿ“Œ When attendance expectations clash with employee rights, things get complicatedโ€”fast. Workers need time off for medical issues, family responsibilities, disabilities, religious observances, military duty and more. Employers need clarity, fairness and legal compliance. Striking that balance isnโ€™t easyโ€ฆ but it is possible.

๐ŸŽค On Wednesday, December 3 at 1:00 p.m. EST, join employment lawyer Anniken Davenport as she walks you through crafting an enforceable, fair, legally sound attendance plan you can put into practice immediately.

๐Ÿ“ Youโ€™ll learn how FMLA, ADA, PWFA, the PUMP Act, USERRA, and new religious-accommodation standards impact attendance rules, plus how to manage intermittent leave, pregnancy-related absences, disability accommodations, and potential leave abuse.

โš ๏ธ The EEOC is showing zero leniency when employers deny religious accommodation requests โ€” and high-dollar settlements are becoming routine. New guidance now expands what counts as reasonable, from flexible scheduling to even month-long remote work during certain holy periods. And with recent cases spanning major religions, minor faiths, and even personalized belief systems, determining whatโ€™s protected has become significantly more complex.
