SUMMARY:Salary Negotiation
DESCRIPTION:If you hear the word “negotiation” and start to sweat\, you’re not alone. Most employers expect candidates to negotiate… but\, according to a survey by GlassDoor\, only 46% of people actually do it. By choosing NOT to negotiate\, you’re leaving money on the table\, which can affect your financial position both now AND in the future.  \nWe want to help you negotiate confidently so you can boost your earning potential\, enhance your job satisfaction\, and get exactly what you need from your employer. Come join the 46%. \nDuring this webinar\, we’ll cover…\n• Strategies you can use to prepare for your negotiation (even before you apply for the job!)\n• When\, during the hiring process\, you’re likely to get asked about salary and how to respond when you do\n• Scripts\, outlines\, and examples you can use during your negotiation conversations

SUMMARY:JOINT NETGroup: COO’s / #2’s & IT Services
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Best Practices for HIPAA Protocols in the Age of AI \nWith so many new platforms in use — from ChatGPT to DocuSign\, Zoom\, transcription tools\, and other AI-driven services — it feels especially timely to talk about how we’re all handling data security and backend system management. \nA few things we want to discuss are: \nHow staff\, interns\, and volunteers are trained and held accountable to confidentiality. \nOur operational concerns around backend access (e.g.\, admins being able to see DocuSign correspondence or Zoom cloud recordings). \nHow agencies are deciding who owns backend permissions\, setting clear protocols\, and putting checks and balances in place. \nThis will be a chance to compare notes and learn from each other about what’s working — and where the risks are. \nHope you’ll join us for this important conversation!
