States Outlaw Noncompete Agreements

States Outlaw Noncompete Agreements | HR - Tracks | Scoop.it
A growing number of states have banned noncompete agreements, leaving employers to grapple with a patchwork of different state-level requirements and federal actions.
James Schreier's insight:

This has always been a very complicated topic and legislation and pending federal legislation is only going to make it more complicated.  One big question:  Do these different stakeholders have any ideas what the long-term consequences (positive and negative) might be?

Job Seekers of Color Are Being ‘Ghosted’ at Alarmingly High Rates

James Schreier's insight:

I don't disagree with this report.  However, the grouping of all 'non-white'' races into one category concerns me.  I would suspect some races are "ghosted" more (or less?) than others.  And that's important.  It's also a very serious issue that calls for an Implications Wheel exploration!

HR leaders should take care to avoid 'rogue' firings and follow best practices when terminating employees for cause.
