PBJ How Oregon Works: Brenda Baumgart on Panel Addressing COVID-19 Work-From-Home and Back-to-School Challenges

Stoel Rives is a sponsor of the Portland Business Journal’s How Oregon Works series, and for a recent feature, labor & employment attorney Brenda Baumgart was part of an expert panel for a discussion ranging from how employers can foster diversity, equity and inclusion in their day-to-day operations to how they might respond to employees who may not feel safe returning to work for fear of COVID-19.

Baumgart is featured in a video excerpt from the panel, “How Oregon Works: Best practices for employers to navigate a work-from-home workforce and back-to-school challenges,” published October 19, 2020, in which she gives her perspective on best practices for Oregon employers whose employees continue to work-from-home during the pandemic, in particular with respect to the challenges of sending children back to school.
