As the national conversation around marijuana use continues to evolve, HR professionals and business leaders must adapt to a rapidly changing legal and cultural landscape. With more states legalizing or decriminalizing cannabis, organizations are facing new questions about employee rights, workplace safety, and compliance. This 90-minute webinar provides essential guidance on balancing legal obligations with workplace expectations and offers a structured approach to developing clear, enforceable policies that reflect current laws and company culture.

Through expert-led insights and real-world case studies, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of how to handle marijuana-related issues in your workplace—from federal vs. state legal conflicts to navigating the complexities of drug screening. Whether you're crafting new policies or updating existing ones, this session equips you with the practical tools and critical thinking needed to respond effectively and lawfully.

Your Benefits for Attending:
  • Federal vs. State: Dive deep into the juxtaposition of federal laws against state legislation on marijuana, exploring the potential conflicts and resolutions.
  • To Allow or Not to Allow: Evaluate the pros and cons of permitting employees to use marijuana during personal time and its potential impact on workplace dynamics and productivity.
  • Screening Dilemmas: Discuss the intricacies of drug screening, weighing its benefits for workplace safety against its cons, including potential discrimination or invasion of privacy.
  • Building an Informed Policy: Learn how to construct and implement a comprehensive marijuana policy that respects legal boundaries, company values, and employee rights.
  • Case Studies: Analyze real-life scenarios where businesses navigated marijuana-related challenges, drawing insights for best practices and potential pitfalls.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
The following info is not about today's program, but is more macro in nature. The Go To Meeting platform does not support closed-captioning. Aurora should consider sharing this feedback with Go To Meeting, or consider looking for another platform. Also Aurora should institute an SOP that requires all presenters to enable closed captions via their side (not sure what this is, but it was done today). Captioning is critical/useful to those with hearing challenges and for those who may have English as a second language. In the spirit of inclusivity, instituting captions will expand Aurora's reach and it will prevent disengagement/frustration from participants who benefit from that service. Thank you!

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
The presenter made a point to say personal details should be left out of hiring to reduce discrimination, then shares on more than one occasion that she advocates for hiring moms/parents because of a generalized notion that they know how to handle multiple priorities, pressure, and such. Her experience with such isn't everyone's.This coupled with data that better fits her narrative and/or conflicts with other data I've seen from reputable sources, she wound up losing me somewhere halfway in. My advice to her - stick to the topic, remain neutral with personal opinions, and she should take her own advice.
