In-home Support from Age at Home Can Boost Well-being
Do you care for or know an older adult who could benefit from non-medical home care services? Social interaction, like a daily visit from an Age at Home companion, can boost a senior’s well-being and also ensure that they safely shower, dress, take medications and eat well.
If you think the support of an Age at Home companion could help someone you love, call (608) 327-7456 or visit AgeatHome.org.

Are Non-Compete Agreements Still Enforceable? – The FTC’s Proposed Rule Would Say No
The FTC recently proposed a new rule that would prohibit the use of non-compete agreements by employers throughout the nation. Attorney Steve DiTullio will discuss the likelihood of such a proposed new rule becoming a reality, as well as the growing trend by numerous states to prohibit or significantly limit the use of employment non-compete agreements. What is the current status for non-compete agreements in Wisconsin, and what about the use of non-solicitation and non-disclosure agreements instead of non-compete agreements by Wisconsin employers?
Navigating Work Visa Options: Attracting Highly Skilled Foreign Workers
The unprecedented workforce shortage of recent years has led employers to consider foreign employees more than ever before. Several countries have enhanced their immigration policies to attract highly skilled workers in critical sectors in order to remain competitive. Attorney Raluca (Luca) Vais-Ottosen will discuss several work visa options, eligibility factors, general procedure, and processing timelines, in order to help U.S. employers attract highly skilled workers in all industries.
