Course Description
Overview: Are You Prepared for the New Presidential Administration? Is your company at risk for non-compliance? Is your company a lawsuit waiting to happen?
2017 comes in with a lot of uncertainties. With a new administration in the white house, employers can expect drastic change, which may affect and impact your organization.
