One of the most pressing topics she covers is workplace compliance with immigration enforcement. Dani provides critical insights into handling ICE visits, whether they’re arriving for a raid or an audit, and shares a three-page guide to help businesses respond appropriately. She emphasizes the importance of preparedness, ensuring that HR teams and leadership understand their rights and responsibilities when facing federal inquiries.
As the political landscape shifts, Dani predicts that employment law will become more employer-friendly, bringing changes in unionization efforts, workplace policies, and regulatory compliance. Manufacturers and business owners should anticipate a more business-centric approach to employment law, but that doesn’t mean compliance efforts can relax. Dani outlines key action steps for HR teams to protect their businesses while adapting to upcoming legal changes.
