The 2009 Midwest Employer

You are invited to the 2009 Midwest Employer. Never before have the issues of the day been so compelling, the challenges confronting the employer community so huge, or the changing tides so sweeping. Never before have the laws governing our workplace practices been so likely to change in ways that we could not previously imagine.

Over the course of the day of the 2009 Midwest Employer Conference, both inside and outside the classroom, Littler attorneys will work with you to enhance your understanding of these fundamental changes and help you develop solutions that meet the needs of your organization. We look forward to spending time with you understanding, analyzing and solving together the unique challenges that we face.
