    About the Presentation

    Recent regulatory initiatives under HIPAA, ADA, FMLA and GINA have left employers wondering whether their current policies and practices are up to date. These initiatives have also left many human resources professionals and managers confused about when they can and cannot discuss individual and family health information without running afoul of these complex regulatory initiatives, which concern the privacy and confidentiality of medical information. Join us for a discussion designed to guide employers with understanding the basic federal and state privacy regulations that exist in the workplace. Topics to be covered include identifying when, and if, your organization may be subject to the complex HIPAA privacy and security regulations, as well as gaining a better understanding of how to train your managers and supervisors as to how to respect the privacy of employees’ medical information without running afoul of federal or state laws.
