Following a charged election season, HR leaders must brace for the aftermath, which may include significant shifts in federal and state policy driven by a new administration and potentially a new Congress. As the dust settles, it's essential to stay ahead of changes emerging from the executive, judicial, and legislative branches. This session offers a comprehensive overview of anticipated policy shifts, enforcement trends, and policymaking at both levels of government. Join top legal experts and policymakers to explore the impact of these developments on workplace law, including major shifts in priorities for regulators like the Department of Labor, Department of Commerce, and Department of Justice, which often align with the political agenda of the current administration. 

Learning Outcomes: 

  • Identify key policy shifts and enforcement trends with stated priorities that are likely to arise from the new administration and Congress  

  • Develop strategies for compliance and organizational alignment with actionable strategies to maintain compliance and align organization's policies with the evolving labor landscape  

  • Understand the balance of power among federal agencies and new considerations for regulatory power, as well as its implications for workplace law.
