Workplace absenteeism and its legal impact topic of Enlighten event

By Chamber Staff / Events / July 6, 2021

The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber’s next Enlighten event, scheduled for Aug. 6 from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. via Zoom, will examine absenteeism and absence management in the workplace.

During this online event, attendees will hear valuable insights and tips from law experts from Chamber member GableGotwals, a full-service law firm based in Oklahoma City, on how to deal with these issues from a human resources standpoint and what legal implications to consider. Ellen Adams and Paula Williams, both shareholders at GableGotwals, will be the featured speakers.

As the Chamber moves back to in-person events, we are seeking event host sponsors for the remainder of 2021 and beyond. Chamber members who have meeting or banquet facilities and are interested in showcasing their venues are invited to submit proposals. Host sponsorships allow you to open your company’s doors to a built-in audience of connected business professionals. Specifications for each event and instructions on how to submit a proposal are available here. Contact Meredith Manley, director of events, with questions at [email protected].

Adams’ practice primarily consists of defending corporate and individual clients in a wide variety of complex business litigation in state and federal courts, with an emphasis on employment law. Williams represents employers in a wide range of labor and employment law, including claims involving wage and hour disputes, family/medical leave, sexual harassment, retaliation, age, race, pregnancy and disability discrimination, and wrongful termination.

Enlighten events are free and available to both Chamber members and nonmembers, providing networking and practical resources to help boost your business performance.
