Flexibility in the Workplace: Legal Updates and Trends

We are just over a year in the change in the White House. With the change in the administration the leadership in the regulatory agencies that make the rules that all businesses must abide by, has also changed. With a difference, this leadership comes differing views of what should and should not be enforced. At the same time, the workforce is changing. New generations of workers and new generations of technology have altered the workplace, yet we must try to adapt these changes. We will discuss laws and trends that will require flexibility on the part of employers.
