New York’s new Retail Worker Safety Act is currently scheduled to go into effect on June 2nd, and requires covered employers with at least 10 retail employees in the state to implement workplace violence prevention training and policies. What does this mean for your business? What steps should you take for compliance?

Join us Tuesday, March 4th, 2025 at 2pm ET / 11am PT for a timely discussion featuring Melanie Naranjo (Chief People Officer, Ethena) and Brandis Anderson (General Counsel, Ethena) as they break down:
✅ What the new law requires—who it applies to; mandatory elements such as training, a policy, and in some cases, the installation of panic buttons; and compliance deadlines
✅ How to implement an effective workplace violence prevention policy to address workplace violence risk factors
✅ Best practices for training your workforce on safety, de-escalation tactics, and reporting protocols
✅ How this fits into broader HR & compliance trends in retail and beyond

Don’t get caught unprepared—learn how to navigate these changes and build a safer workplace.
