The keynote luncheon speaker, Dr. Allan Colman, vice president of DecisionQuest, a research and trial consulting firm, will discuss ethical conduct of corporations.

  • What the new federal overtime rules mean for Connecticut employers and beyond
  • Hiring in an expanding job market
  • Responding to workplace crises
  • Workplace harassment issues
