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.

  • 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 link to the Harvard survey didn't work for me, but I ended up finding it when I searched, "google'd" it. I really did use Google! I found that to be interesting even though I am skeptical of the results. I took the disability survey and I felt like I was taking less of a bias survey and more of a brain game matching survey. I think it would have been more interesting if it allowed the survey taker to determine what they felt was a "disabled" or "abled" person. I had attempted to say a person with a crutch was an "abled" person and it said I was wrong based on their categorization. By following their preset guidelines it became more of a matching brain teaser game for me. There could be more science behind it than that though. I found that survey and the EEOC cases great takeaways that will be good to share with our management team. I think they will respond well to interactive and real-life situations.

Superior presenter and well organized and helpful presentation. The only thing missing was ability for Q & A beyond 5-10 minutes which limited discussion and feedback.
