Trade Secrets & Non-Compete Info

IT HR

I came across this free Webinar and wanted to pass along the information.  It is entitled "Protecting Company Assets: Trade Secrets, Non-Competition, And The World of Restrictive Covenants: Will the Courts Really Enforce These Agreements?"  from Fisher & Phillips LLP.

I have never attended one of these webinars from them but I do get their free monthly labor letter and benefits update, which I really like.  I think it never hurts to have another HR resource for us to use!
