COVID-19 has sparked a renewed debate about paid leave policy. Congress swiftly passed significant changes to paid leave requirements that are having an enormous impact on workplaces. SHRM is elevating the Voice of HR as the debate enters a new era.
MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD
Since HR professionals are on the ground floor of workplace policy administration, it is critical that we maintain active involvement in advocating for policies that are realistic to administer and are beneficial to the workforce.
