You cannot fully advocate for your client’s needs unless you understand the attitudes of their culture and the requirements of their religion.
New Jersey is becoming more diverse every year and, consequently, so are New Jersey businesses. Balancing the rights of employees with varied and divergent religious beliefs and cultural practices can make a business more productive. However, when some of these practices conflict with the business’ environment or needs, your clients will turn to you for advice.
Whether you represent employers or employees, this seminar will help you better represent your clients. Register today to hear experienced experts discuss statutes and case law as they apply to the realities of every-day life in the business world, enabling you to become a better advisor, advocate and litigator.
