Sandra Moran, Chief Customer Experience and Marketing Officer at WorkForce Software talks with BenefitsPro readers about the challenges large companies face in complying with rapidly evolving labour regulations.
New laws, such as the Department of Labour’s overtime pay rule and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, add complexity to an already complex regulatory landscape. Employers operating across multiple jurisdictions must navigate varying federal, state and local regulations, which can significantly impact operations. Non-compliance poses high risks, including costly lawsuits and reputational damage.
Moran points out that to effectively manage these challenges, companies should prioritise high-risk areas, implement automated processes, leverage technology and view compliance as an ongoing effort–and not a one-size-fits-all approach. By fostering a culture of ethical behaviour and regulatory adherence, companies can turn compliance challenges into opportunities for long-term success.
“Companies that can effectively navigate evolving labour regulations can gain a competitive advantage, build trust with their employees and position themselves for sustainable long-term success,” said Moran. “By embracing proactive strategies, leveraging technology and fostering a culture of compliance, these companies can turn regulatory challenges into opportunities for organisational excellence.”
