Labor & Employment attorneys Hilary Holmes Rheaume and Anne-Marie Storey will present a session titled “Navigating HR’s Toughest Workplace Conversations” at the 2026 Strategic HR at Mt. Washington conference, taking place November 1-3 at the Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire.
Hilary and Anne-Marie will use scenario-based discussions to examine some of the most challenging situations HR professionals face, including confidentiality concerns, harassment and discrimination complaints, accommodation requests, retaliation, conflicts of interest, and manager misconduct. The session will focus on how HR leaders can balance employee trust, legal obligations, ethical considerations, and business needs while determining when an issue calls for documentation, escalation, investigation, or legal guidance.
Bernstein Shur is also proud to sponsor Strategic HR at Mt. Washington, an executive-level conference bringing together senior HR leaders from throughout New England for three days of programming focused on the business and people challenges facing today’s organizations.
