Navigating Legal Changes in 2025: An HR Perspective

In this episode of the HX podcast, I explore the top legal trends anticipated for 2025 that could impact organizations nationwide. I discuss how recent administration changes, Supreme Court decisions, and evolving regulations could alter the landscape for HR and legal departments. Key topics include changes in contractor classifications, overtime exemptions, unionization efforts, OSHA standards, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, and pending litigation cases.
