Immigration compliance has entered a new phase in 2026. Employers are facing heightened oversight, more targeted enforcement activity, and less tolerance for documentation gaps—even when mistakes are unintentional. From I-9 inspections to work authorization verification, organizations are being held to higher standards with real financial and reputational consequences.

This timely webinar equips employers with the clarity and structure needed to meet today’s immigration requirements without fear, confusion, or missteps. Designed for HR, compliance, and leadership teams, the session focuses on what enforcement agencies are actually looking for, how employers can prepare before an issue arises, and how to respond effectively if scrutiny begins.

Attendees will learn how to assess their current practices, correct vulnerabilities, and implement defensible procedures that withstand audits and investigations. The session goes beyond checklists —explaining why certain practices create risk and how to build systems that remain compliant even as rules and priorities evolve.

Just as importantly, this training addresses the human side of immigration compliance. Employers must navigate sensitive employee concerns carefully to avoid discrimination, retaliation, or inconsistent treatment. This webinar provides practical guidance for maintaining neutrality, protecting employee rights, and ensuring that immigration-related conversations are handled lawfully and professionally.
