Including Managing in the #MeToo Era and Understanding the Leave of Absence and Reasonable Accommodation Process

At this seminar, Susan Gross Sholinsky, a partner in the national law firm of Epstein Becker & Green, will provide guidance in English, and Madoka Oya, a HR Director of Actus Consulting Group, Inc. will advise in Japanese.
