1. Biden’s early impact on the workplace.

President Biden is just a week into his duties, but he’s already signed a flurry of orders that could affect your workplace. As SHRM explains, the directives pertain to racial equity, discrimination and a new path to citizenship.

Though early measures are “light on specifics,” Biden has revoked Trump’s order that limited diversity training, and he’s proceeding with pushing a $1.9 trillion stimulus package for pandemic relief.
