We’ve compiled a variety of expert resources to help employers address workplace immigration-related issues. We’ve also compiled resources for any employees who may be immigrants or who have family, friends, or neighbors they may be concerned about. While we aren’t attorneys and can’t offer legal advice, we remind you that your EAP can offer your employees counseling and support for managing stress and anxiety related to this or any other work/life issue.
