Employers expect the Trump administration to “prioritize” easing workplace regulation, but they’re less confident in whether that change will actually happen, and if it does happen, whether it will affect them.
A survey of 1,229 in-house corporate attorneys, HR professionals and C-suite executives by employment law firm Littler, found that uncertainty is high among employers, and it’s related to the new administration in the White House and the technological disruption happening in society.
The vast majority of employers expect the Trump administration to prioritize reforming healthcare and employee benefits law (89%) and immigration policies (85%) in 2017.
