OBL HR Forum
OBL HR Forum
The OBL HR Forum provides an outlet for bankers to discuss important human resources issues, dissect employee relations problems, and gain insights into best practices with banks from across the state. It's a fact. Employee turnover costs your company plenty and losing one of your star workers can be staggering. And while it's easy to assume that your most capable workers are satisfied and loyal, these highly talented employees are in big demand … everywhere. That's why they require special attention and a different managerial approach than other employees. But in a cultural and legal environment that emphasizes consistency and fairness in managing employees, finding an effective, sustainable way to lead high performers (and coach the not-so-high performers) is a challenge. The HR Forum sessions provide Open Forum Discussions, topical presentations and a quarterly Employment Law Update to help you navigate these difficult waters.

Forum Discussion Topics
Each session features an Employment Law Update, which includes not only regulatory and case law developments that have occurred, but also what may be coming in the future. Armed with this knowledge, banks can take proactive steps to help avoid or minimize employment law risks and tackle difficult employee relations problems when they arise. Forum members can take advantage of timely and accurate information about the latest legal developments impacting employers in the financial services industry.
Areas on which the Employment Law Update focuses include:
- Wage/hour compliance in the financial services industry
- DEI
- FMLA, ADA and leaves of absences
- Discrimination and harassment case law updates
- Insights on workplace investigations
- Best practices for employee discipline and documentation
Each session also features a presentation from an HR professional, who focuses on hot topics of concern in the area of HR operations, talent acquisition, succession planning and the like.
