As workplaces become more diverse in how employees process information, employment matters involving neurodivergent workers, including those with autism, ADHD and dyslexia, will increasingly cross your desk. Register today for this essential program to tap into the latest strategies you need to know from some of the state's leading experts, so that you can confidently navigate even the most complex matters that come your way. As an attendee, you will learn how differences in communication, sensory processing and executive functioning influence credibility assessments, and how to use that knowledge to get the best results in the matters you handle. Our panel of practitioners will also share the most important recent trends in reasonable accommodation requests and misconduct allegations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD).
Beyond the human element, the panel will detail how artificial intelligence is changing these matters, both as an accommodation tool and a potential source of bias in hiring and performance monitoring. You will learn how to spot common missteps that contribute to mischaracterization or legal exposure during workplace investigations and administrative proceedings, so you can take on these cases with confidence. You will come away with the practical strategies you need to account for neurodiversity from the initial complaint through litigation and expand your employment law practice.
Learn the latest strategies for getting the best results in workplace complaints and accommodation requests, including:
- How neurodiversity affects workplace investigations, administrative complaints and litigation.
- The ways communication and social interaction differences influence your interviews and credibility assessments.
- The growing role of artificial intelligence as an accommodation for neurodivergent employees.
- Potential ADA and NJLAD exposure from AI bias in hiring and performance monitoring.
- Common missteps that lead to mischaracterization and ineffective decision-making in misconduct allegations.
