The Washington Outlook for HR Public Policy
The Trump administration and Congress face a number of public policy challenges in the year ahead. Changes to public policy initiatives affecting the HR profession are key with a focus on proposals to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, initiatives to reform the tax code, efforts on interior immigration enforcement including worksite enforcement and proposals to expand paid leave and workplace flexibility. How will these issues affect employers and employees in your organization, and how can you best engage and prepare for the year ahead? This session will provide an up-to-date discussion of current congressional activity as well as federal regulatory and judicial activity.
