1-Hour Webinar
CSR and ESG liability is becoming an increasingly important topic for Human Resources professionals, organizational leaders, and compliance teams. As organizations make public commitments to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, employees, regulators, investors, customers, and the public expect those commitments to be reflected consistently throughout the workplace. When organizational actions fail to align with publicly stated values, the result may include employee complaints, discrimination claims, retaliation allegations, reputational damage, shareholder concerns, and increased legal exposure.
In this practical HR.Community webinar, participants will explore how CSR and ESG liability develops when organizations unintentionally create expectations they fail to meet. We’ll examine how diversity, equity, inclusion, sustainability, ethics, community involvement, workplace culture, employee well-being, and corporate governance initiatives can influence employment decisions, performance management, investigations, recruiting, promotions, and organizational credibility.
Through realistic workplace scenarios, HR professionals will learn how seemingly well-intentioned CSR and ESG initiatives may increase organizational risk when policies, management decisions, or day-to-day workplace practices are inconsistent with publicly communicated commitments. The webinar also discusses the importance of documentation, manager training, policy alignment, internal communication, and leadership accountability when implementing values-based initiatives.
Participants will gain practical strategies for identifying potential legal risks before they become employee relations issues, administrative complaints, or litigation. Whether your organization is developing a new ESG strategy, strengthening its corporate social responsibility efforts, or reviewing existing workplace practices, this webinar provides actionable guidance for aligning organizational values with legally compliant HR practices.
Designed for HR Generalists, HR Business Partners, HR Managers, HR Directors, compliance professionals, employment attorneys, and organizational leaders, this webinar helps participants understand how effective governance, consistent leadership, and objective employment decisions support both organizational integrity and long-term business success.
