HR Compliance & Workforce Planning in 2025: What Business Leaders Need to Know presented by Healey & Associates

The early weeks of President Trump’s second administration have already brought significant changes, and 2025 is shaping up to be a turbulent year. For CEOs, business owners, HR executives, and financial decision-makers, understanding these shifts is critical—not just to maintain compliance but to strategically plan for workforce impacts, budget appropriately, and align policies with long-term business goals.

This seminar is designed for leaders who need to anticipate changes, allocate resources, and integrate compliance into their organization’s broader strategy. We’ll break down key HR compliance priorities that could affect your business’s risk exposure, operational costs, and workforce planning.

Key Topics for Decision-Makers:

HR Functional Review – Assess your organization’s compliance and risk levels under new federal and state HR requirements.
Paid Family & Medical Leave Implementation – Evaluate workforce planning, absence management, and whether to opt for Maine’s state plan or private alternatives.
Job Descriptions & Pay Practices – Ensure compliance with new salary thresholds and worker classification rules to avoid back-pay claims
Employee Benefits Review – Align benefit programs with company values, avoid redundant costs, and comply with updates like the SECURE 2.0 Act.
Pandemic Preparedness – With rising bird flu concerns, businesses must update their pandemic response plans. Policy shifts under President Trump’s administration mean federal funding support will likely be reduced.

If you’re responsible for setting budgets, managing risk, or driving organizational strategy, this session is for you. Join us to ensure your business is prepared for the evolving HR and compliance landscape.
