  • What risk do employers have if an employee contracts the virus in the workplace? What about privacy considerations for high-risk employees and those who are afraid of returning to the office?
  • Which safety precautions and social distancing measures are most effective and readily available? How should you plan now for the possibility of a 2nd virus wave in the fall?

Get answers you need from the experts you trust.

Her succinct talking points help deliver key updates and tough decisions to affected team members.

Whether she’s conducting training on anti-harassment (similar to Epstein Becker Green’s “Halting Harassment” online training tool) or leading training on diversity, internal investigations, or performance documentation best practices, Susan’s effective training style helps managers spot problems early and boost productivity through safe, compliant practices. Susan helps employers respond rapidly to social issues, like the #MeToo or racial justice movements. She spearheaded the firm’s COVID-19 taskforce that provides employers with practical advice supported by training programs compliant in all 50 states, and dozens of pandemic-related policies and forms, as well as client advisories, blog posts, and articles.

She also advises multinational employers on designing and implementing equity-based compensation packages to incentivize top-level executives.

Clients value Gretchen’s commitment to understanding their challenges and her ability to break down the complex rules governing their programs.

Tax-exempt and not-for-profit institutions rely on her advice to ensure compliance for their pension plans, executive compensation, deferred compensation, and employee benefits.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gretchen helped numerous clients use disaster-relief tax provisions and coordinate with new benefit providers to give employees access to health and wellness benefits through secure mobile apps. As companies grapple with Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act rules, Gretchen’s analysis and insight inform practical solutions for updating and changing benefits plans. When implementing a post-merger rollover of benefits, she helps employers see beyond the technical aspects of their decisions to anticipate how their actions will be perceived by employees and the public.
