Berkowitz Oliver Employment Team Presents at Local SHRM Lunch

The Society for Human Resources Management of Greater Kansas City—one of the oldest and largest trade associations in the greater Kansas City area—hosted Berkowitz Oliver at their monthly lunch on September 8 to speak about recent developments in the ever-changing landscape of employment law. Attorneys Kathleen Nemechek, Sharon Stallbaumer, Alex Demasi, and Megan Costello spoke to SHRM members about the EEOC’s new enforcement priorities, best practices with pregnant employees, how to safely use AI in HR operations, and the current landscape for non-competes.

“This has been a tumultuous couple of years for human resources employees, trying to keep up with a rapidly changing landscape of employment laws, and at times, the lack thereof,” said Megan Costello, partner at Berkowitz Oliver. “Effective legal guidance is needed now more than ever to help protect employers.”
