Demystifying Workplace Protections for Medical Leave and More: A Speaker Event
Details
BOLD is thrilled to host Demystifying Workplace Protections for Medical Leave and More: A Speaker Event Hosted by the Chronic Pain Project.
This talk by Rosa Park Neves is designed to empower people with chronic illness and their families with clear, actionable knowledge regarding their employment rights. As a Paid Leave Strategist with a background in Human Resource (HR) Management (including Benefits Administration and Leave Management), Rosa can bridge the gap between complex policy and real-world application.
Key Learning Objectives
-Individual Protections: Understanding workplace accommodations and job security for various chronic illness conditions.
-Support for Caregivers: Navigating family leave options for loved ones assisting through diagnosis and treatment.
-Inside Perspectives: Leveraging my experience as a former HR Generalist as well as Unemployment Claims Adjudicator to explain how leave and benefits are evaluated from a regulatory standpoint.
The Goal
To bridge the gap between dense legislative language and the reality of a living with chronic illness. We aim to clarify workplace protections for both patients and their loved ones, ensuring that professional stability remains intact during the most challenging moments of treatment.
Rosa Park Neves of RP7 Online LLC is a Paid Leave Strategist specializing in the intersection of health and the workplace. With a degree in Human Resource Management and experience in benefits administration, they bring a deep understanding of general corporate, state and federal policies. Furthermore, their previous role as a state-contracted Unemployment Claims Adjudicator provides a rare, "inside-out" view of how leave protections are enforced. Last but not least, on a personal note Rosa is a working mom with multiple chronic illnesses raising 2 children in a bi-lingual, multi-generational, neurodiverse household.
