Plan Ahead! HR National Legislative Update (Advisory Insights Podcast, Episode 7)

Massachusetts is about to become the 18th state in the country to ban discrimination based on hairstyle. It’s just one example of how laws and regulations affecting the workplace can start in one or two states and spread across the country.

Advisory Insights is presented by Oberman Law Firm and produced by the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX®. The series can be found on all the major podcast apps. You can find the complete show archive here.
