To say work has changed in the past year is an understatement; it's been turned on its head. Now it's time to revisit what we learned and talk about how to apply that to the future. Organizations are asking us what's next and what they should be planning for in 2021. With many questions still looming in the minds of employers, **our workforce experts are ready with some answers.**

Join Michael Stull, Senior Vice President of Manpower North America and Mark Toth, Chief Legal and Public Affairs Officer, ManpowerGroup North America as they discuss how the world of work is changing – again. **In this information-packed hour, you'll walk away with up-to-date insights on what 2021 will bring:**

      • New factors employers need to be considering from vaccinations in the workplace to          evolving best practices for getting America back to work  
      • Legislative, policy and even behavior changes in the workforce that will impact your            organization  
      • A preview of the innovations Manpower has planned for 2021 that will help keep                your business moving forward

**But wait, there's more!** Our friends at Littler, one of the world's leading labor and employment law firms, have offered to follow-up with answers to the employment law questions our viewers submit during the event – an added benefit of joining us live on February 4.
