HR Legal Insights: A Symposium for Bankers
Virtual and In-Person Registration Options Available!
Join us for the first HR Legal Insights tailored specifically for community banks, where industry leaders, legal experts, and HR professionals converge to tackle the most urgent human resources challenges of 2025. This year’s summit will focus on the evolving legal landscape, workforce transformation, and strategic compliance practices that are reshaping the banking sector.
During this session, we will discuss in detail announcements by the Trump Administration which impact employment compliance expectations in the banking industry. As 2025 has progressed, we have obtained more specific guidance from the various federal agencies detailing community bank obligations. In this session, we will discuss diversity compliance, the actions which remain permissible as well as the activities which are now viewed as reverse discrimination. Discrimination as enforced by the EEOC and the OFCCP, will be examined given the significant changes to the enforcement priorities. And then finally, we will discuss recurring challenges in the industry as we confront employee requests which have both ADA, FMLA, and PWFA implications. We will provide take and use resources for program attendees which will include the most recent industry guidance both published and unpublished, from the federal regulators.
Gain actionable insights, network with peers, and leave with a toolkit of strategies to protect your institution, empower your people, and lead with confidence in a rapidly changing environment.
