Workplace Wake-Up with Jen Shaw
Join us every Wednesday as we discuss recent developments in Employment Law.
Episodes
Jen has talked about “quiet quitting,” but what’s an employer to do when the work is technically getting done—just with zero initiative, collaboration, or care? In this episode, Jen explores the legal boundaries of managing checked-out employees without crossing into retaliation, disability discrimination, or morale implosion. This one’s for every leader who’s tired of “just enough” effort and wants to raise the bar legally.
Artificial intelligence is everywhere—from resume screening to productivity tracking—but what happens when the tech gets it wrong? In this episode, Jen dives into the legal minefield of algorithmic bias, EEO compliance, and employer liability.
