She frequently speaks and provides training on topics such as FLSA exemptions, wage and hour trends in the oil and gas industry, workplace investigations, harassment, hiring and firing guidelines, best employment practices, and case law updates.
Stefanie has knowledge of workforce issues that are unique to the energy industry, and her experience covers companies that provide oil and gas services and specialize in energy exploration and production, offshore services, retail, healthcare, staffing services, telecommunications, and financial and electric services.
