Talent Management Programs: Managing Risk When the Rules Keep Shifting
Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 11:20 AM - 12:20 PM

The compliance challenge for GCs right now is not whether your programs were well-designed; it is whether they hold up under standards that have shifted since you built them. For multinationals, the problem is even more acute: programs that are legally required in the EU may be actively scrutinized in the US. This session delivers a practical framework for assessing exposure and building durability into your talent management programs regardless of what comes next.

  • Evaluate existing programs against current enforcement priorities and determine what to modify, preserve, or document.
  • Navigate conflicting federal, state, and municipal requirements without abandoning your organization's values or creating liability on either front.
  • Understand how multinationals are managing the tension between jurisdictions that mandate certain workforce programs and a US enforcement environment that views the same programs with suspicion.
