Overview
Now more than ever, employers are seeing former employees trying to jump start their career moves – voluntarily or involuntarily – by cashing in on the employer’s investment in relationships and information. Quite simply, the most effective way to protect your company’s resources against the actions of departing employees is the noncompete agreement. But effectively using noncompetes requires knowledge of your and other states’ laws, and good decisions both in the design and enforcement of the noncompetes. This OnDemand Webinar will give you the tools to start effectively using noncompetes or, if you already are, to improve your company’s program.
