A while back, the CBIA asked me if I would present at its annual HR Conference later this month. We decided on the topic which seemed innocuous at the time — just an update on the Trump Administration and the implications for employers.
So, my colleague Emily McDonough Souza and I set out to cover
I’ll admit that it can sometimes be hard to talk about the political ramifications that elections have on employers because some might think you’re taking sides.
