Employment Law Today

Thursdays 5:00pm - 6:00pm (EDT)WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?There are several reasons to listen to this episode:1) It is the way that Frank About Health began as a show to eliminate the stigmas of Epilepsy and those that live with it.2) To learn more about Jeff's Book entitled: Dating in the Dark: A Memoir about Dating Disasters with Epilepsy, Anxiety, and Psychotic Breaks.3) Jeff's experiences with Epilepsy have made him become a mental health advocate so we will explore some of those issues and discuss how his appearance on Frank About Health will be the precursor to some new contributions to Frank About Health in 2023.EPISODE SUMMARY:For many years, Jeffrey Demitrack searched for a meaningful and fulfilling relationship and, most of all, hoped that one day he would find a significant other who understood and unconditionally accepted his struggles with epilepsy. People have their insecurities, and relationships already are hard without throwing seizures into the mix, so his search has been a challenging one. When first diagnosed with epilepsy at ten years old, he knew that society believed many negative stigmas about the terrible illness. This would surely be an obstacle when communicating about epilepsy to dates and potential partners. The stress of relationships, the anxiety of illness, and the impact of seizures on mood and behavior all played a part in making his interactions tough and, many times, traumatic.‍Tune in for this healthy conversation at TalkRadio.nyc

With the increase in a remote workforce and many employees logging in to work from the privacy of their own homes, these rules around notifying employees of their electronic monitoring can get quite complicated.In addition, with other employees using social media for posts about their working conditions, which may include insults to the employer and calls to unionize, employers need to be cautious about their responses to "offensive" social media posts by their employees. How can employers monitor what their employees are doing, without breaching state laws, or violating their privacy?In this episode, fellow employment law attorney Jon Hyman, Esq, and I will discuss which labor and employment laws come into play when it comes to monitoring an employee.

WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?- Our audience will learn to identify the necessary business law items they need as a solid foundation upon which to build their company.EPISODE SUMMARY:Many business owners and entrepreneurs become so heavily focused on creating their products, goods, or services that they lose sight of the “business law basics”, such as having the necessary agreements, contracts, and business entity formation documents in place as a foundation upon which to build their company's brand, customer base, and corporate culture. While it may be tempting to skip these business law steps or to use knock-off online templates and cookie-cutter programs for legal documents, doing so can result in vague, incomplete documents, incorrectly filed entities, and a weak foundation which can potentially leave your business more susceptible to litigation and long-term legal woes. On tonight's episode of Employment Law Today, my guest, corporate attorney and business advisor Mitchell Beinhaker, Esq., and I will discuss some of the necessary business law items that you, the business owner/entrepreneur, and/or employer ought to complete as you start or grow your business. LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/beinhakerlawCompany Website: www.beinhakerlaw.com(Linktree) www.linktr.ee/beinhakerlawEmail: mitch@beinhakerlaw.comTwitter: mcbesqEPISODE QUOTE:Tune in for this informative conversation at TalkRadio.nyc or watch the Facebook Livestream by Clicking Here.

Stefan gives his birthday wishes to Eric who's birthday was on March 28! Today's topic is about the wellness of employers and employees and the benefits of moving more and sitting less in the workplace. Stefan talks about how we didn't realize his love for movement. Fitness worked its way into his life where he studied kinesiology. When thinking about grad school, he found physical therapy and occupational therapy as his two choices. In his first semester, he got a parasite in his eye and unfortunately lost his vision. Though, he was able to finish grad school. But his vision affected his work and was unable to help patients the way he wanted to. After going through covid himself, Stefan knew that he didn't want to go back to desk work and this was when Love to Move came to be. Eric also asks Stefan about what factors in the workplace he believes leads to prolonged sitting and whether it's a problem that a company should address. He says employers should care as it factors into stress, work overload, culture design and more.Segment 2Eric brings up the issue of how prolonged sitting can affect your health and wellbeing. Stefan elborates about what a prolonged day of sitting looks like. When we think about a typical workday, we usually sit about 30 minutes for breakfast, commute, in the dining room. In total, Stefan says that there's about 7-13 hours a day of sitting. He mentions the risk of cardiovascular disease for sitting 8 hours a day as well as anxiety and depression. But he says that it doesn't mean that it's completely bad or unnecessary to sit during the day. Though it adds up when you think about all of the activities that we do sitting down. Stefan brings up exercise as something beneficial. He says that it's really about habits. Eric asks Stefan how employers foster this kind of culture. He says to build the habit and then you can buy a standing desk. He says that employers can implement things like a 15 minute meeting where it is a “standing only” meeting. What's also better is to work in groups of 10-20 people as well as ask questions to employees about what moving and standing looks like for them. This is the kind of work Stefan does with Love to Move when helping transform a work environment. Stefan also talks about the difference between encouraging and facilitating.Segment 3Stefan talks more about working on building a habit of sitting less which is possible without expensive gadgets or apps. Eric discusses more about building habits like we do when exercising rather than going straight into standing or exercising for long periods of time. Motivations and finding out what works for you is something Stefan says is important. Stefans speaks about employers finding out what connections employees have with their activities and decisions that motivate them which can benefit both the employer and employee.Segment 4Coming back from the final break, Eric asks Stefan how does Love to Move distinguish itself from other firms or organizations that stress movement and ergonomics? He says that many companies have an ergonomics team. The problem he says is that the farthest that companies will go to is the set up a standing desk and not working on habits. Stefan says that he tries to work on the culture and habit piece of this. He gives an example that if everyone in the zoom meeting is standing, it cultivates that team environment of building a habit. You can visit stefanzavalin.com where you can find his contact information like social media, learn about Love to Move and also fill out a form if you want to ask or chat with him! He also has a book called Sit Less which you can also find on his website as well as Amazon.

(1) Our audience will gain a better understanding of what is happening with The Great Resignation; (2) Our listeners will gain keen insights on how to approach their workers who may be leaving in large numbers; (3) our audience can gain insight into how their actions as employers may be contributing to, or countering, The Great Resignation.The Great Resignation can seem like a baffling phenomenon to many experts. The causes for the mass exodus from jobs are being studied and opined upon from a DEI perspective, a mental health awareness, and from economists' point of view. But how does conscious awareness play into this equation? What are the points of collective consciousness, of awareness, and the spiritual principles that have contributed to The Great Resignation?Join me on Tuesday evening, with my special guest, Sam Liebowitz, a/k/a “The Conscious Consultant,” Executive Producer at TalkRadio.NYC, and host of The Conscious Consultant Hour, for an engaging discussion of how we can all benefit by viewing The Great Resignation through a spiritual lens of consciousness.

The audience will learn how leaders and employers can invest in their team, as well as how to focus on quality of relationships rather than solely on quantity of output. When an employer lets the goals and measures of success override their investment in their people, the team members perceive themselves as a means to an end, a product to be consumed, to achieve some stated objective. This can create discord and a lack of employee morale. What lessons can we learn about investing time and effort into relationships with our employees, our consultants, and the players on our team?Join me this week with my special guest, Robb Holman, Founder of Holman International. Robb is a best-selling author and global consultancy expert. His latest book, “Move The Needle“, examines why we must prioritize people over procedures for better results!

Sadly, racism remains as a deeply destructive aspect of our society. It is embedded in our systems of thought, our interactions, and in all settings — including employment.Join Rev. Dr. Terrlyn L. Curry Avery and myself, as we discuss some methods for identifying, confronting, and dismantling racism in the workplace. No single show could possibly achieve this task, but we hope to address some causes and conditions in our conversation.We will discuss the language used in dialogue over race, how certain terms may be heard differently based on one's race and background, and how to recognize the impact of racism on employers and employees alike.
