This session will review the latest trends in state public policy as well as provide an overview of the impact HR has when you become involved in the advocacy process. 

While the Trump Administration and Congress continue to slog through legislative battles, states and localities are moving forward on several workplace issues: from paid sick leave to predictive scheduling, restrictions on background screening, legal/medical marijuana in the workplace and veterans preference in the workplace among others.  In many instances these issues vary in scope and breadth from state to state presenting a complex challenge for compliance. Yet, as an HR Professional, you are uniquely positioned to shape the development of these state and workplace laws and regulations. This session will explore these trends, discuss how the basic steps of becoming involved in the HR public policy process; and effective ways to communicating the HR professional's perspective on key workplace issues.
