When on-boarding new talent, what questions can employers ask and which ones should they avoid, both from the legal perspective and HR perspective?  If you need to fire an employee, what steps should you take?  WOL members, Davida Perry, an employment lawyer, and Jennifer Gillman, a legal recruiter, will lead us in this lively discussion.

This discussion will be led by Women Owned Law members Davida Perry of Schwartz Perry & Heller LLP, employment lawyer and Jennifer Gillman, HR specialist, of Gillman Strategic Group.
