Most employment claims do not begin with a dramatic event. They begin with an overlooked email, a poorly documented decision, an untrained manager, or a compliance obligation nobody realized existed.
Join Baker Donelson for our August Coffee Chat as we discuss the ten employment issues creating outsized risk for employers in 2026. From AI-driven hiring tools and pay transparency requirements to leave administration, remote work compliance, severance agreements, and retaliation claims, employers face growing exposure in areas that may go unnoticed until a demand letter or agency charge arrives. This practical session will focus on the real-world mistakes that may lead to costly disputes and provide actionable strategies employers can implement to reduce risk.
