Webinar examines employer response to whistleblower threats

The Association of Corporate Counsel will present “A COVID-19 Storm is Brewing: How Employers Respond to Mandates When Whistleblowers Threaten.” 

This webinar will be offered Tuesday, Aug. 18, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The economic impact of the pandemic has caused employers to take such actions as reductions-in-force, furloughs along with ordering reduced work hours and lower pay.

Now, with companies reopening, employers are attempting to comply with mandatory and “best practices” COVID-19 protocols.

This webinar will address potential situations where circumstances might expose employers to whistleblower complaints.

Title agency expands Midwest footprint

Best Homes Title Agency, LLC (BHT), a provider of residential and commercial title insurance, has opened its newest office location in Gateway Executive Park, at 1821 Walden Office Square, in Schaumburg, Ill., a Chicago suburb.

The new Chicago area office, managed by Kisha Dallas, escrow manager, will be BHT's ninth location regionally, with plans for additional offices in the near future.

Neil Sherman, president and founder of BHT, said the opening of the new office “was an important step in continuing to offer our clients the highest level of convenience and customer service.

“As a company, we are continuing to grow and we needed our regional footprint to support our clients closer to home.”

The title industry has continued to evolve over the last several months and BHT has been at the forefront of these swift changes, according to Sherman.

BHT is a full-service title agency founded in 2006 by Sherman and Peter Schneiderman.
