HR’s important role in meeting uncertainty with agility, adaptability

HR’s important role in meeting uncertainty with agility, adaptability | HR - Tracks | Scoop.it
This level of uncertainty has profound implications for business strategy, making it simultaneously more important to implement change proactively and more difficult to do so. Greater uncertainty puts more emphasis on flexibility and agility in planning. Paradoxically, it also creates a desire for more “certain” plans. While focusing on creating robust strategies that address current challenges may feel necessary, HR leaders can help their company become better positioned for success in the long-term by prioritizing elements like agility and adaptability in their plans.

Questions Remain About Anticipated Proposed Overtime Rule

Questions Remain About Anticipated Proposed Overtime Rule | HR - Tracks | Scoop.it
This spring, employers are expecting to learn about the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL’s) proposed changes to the overtime rule. It’s anyone’s guess how high the DOL may want to raise the salary level threshold for the white-collar exemptions.
James Schreier's insight:

This is such a complicated issue -- only made more complicated by at least a couple decades of workplace changes for individuals at all levels, organizations, etc.  The complexity guarantees problems that certainly could be anticipated -- therefore not "unintended."  It would be fascinating if the DOL would have the courage to really explore the implications, both short but particularly long term for these proposed changes.  Doubt it because it's never really happened before with workplace legislation that almost always has had major "unintended consequences" often completely contradictory to the main goals.
