HR.com's HR Research Institute Announces 'The State of Legal, Compliance & Employment Law Advisory Board' for 2021 to Guide HR Research and Virtual Event

Jacksons Point, Ontario, Canada - HR.com, the largest network of human resources (HR) professionals, has announced their 'State of Legal, Compliance & Employment Law Advisory Board' for 2021. The board will provide HR leaders valuable, timely insights on today's legal, compliance, and employment law situation through annual research and education of HR professionals.

Working closely with HR.com's HR Research Institute (HRRI), the newly-appointed board of industry experts and thought leaders will counsel on the most impactful topics and key areas within legal, compliance, and employment law areas of HR to positively and effectively guide primary research. The upcoming research study will provide a detailed snapshot of how organizations are handling these various responsibilities and decisions today, trending best practices, and how HR leaders and their teams can prepare for future challenges, as well as what to expect in the coming year.

The research insights and findings will be published in a major HR Research Institute report and will be further distilled into a two-page infographic. The results will also be featured at the complimentary virtual event, The State of Legal, Compliance and Employment Law 2021, taking place October 27, 2021. Free for interested HR professionals, this full-day event will include webcast sessions with experts who will examine trends and strategies associated with critical legal and compliance issues.

The advisory board's guidance will be invaluable in ensuring both the research and the virtual event are best-in-class for HR professionals in attendance, as well as that they address today's top concerns.

The state of the industry research will look at all relevant factors to provide a comprehensive snapshot, including:

• Which issues are creating the most stress and uncertainty
• How organizations are addressing those issues
• What legal challenges arose during the coronavirus pandemic, and what is on the horizon in light of recent changes such as the new administration in the US
• How the move to more remote work environments changed employer obligations
• What organizations that are good at handling these issues tend to do differently from those that do not
