Navigating Complex Labor Laws

As workplace expectations and employee activism continue to evolve, employers face increasingly complex decisions about managing their workforces while minimizing legal risk. Woods Rogers Principal Leah Stiegler recently joined host Jocelyn King on the For HR, By HR podcast to discuss some of the most pressing labor and employment issues facing employers and HR professionals today.

During the conversation, Leah discusses the resurgence of union organizing, including its expansion into industries such as healthcare and technology, and how social media has increased employees’ access to information about workplace rights and organizing efforts. She also points out the challenges employers face when balancing reputational concerns with employees’ rights to engage in protected activity.

Leah and Jocelyn touch on the growing use of artificial intelligence in HR, from drafting employee communications to assisting with hiring decisions.
