#WorkforceWednesday: Top Employment Law Changes of 2025

2025 reshaped the employment law landscape, bringing sweeping changes at both the federal and state levels. In this year-end special episode, Epstein Becker Green attorneys break down the most impactful developments for employers.

Key Issues for Employers:

• DEI rollbacks: Companies are scaling back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, with reverse discrimination suits on the rise.
• AI governance: Federal deregulation has spurred state-level action, with AI now influencing workforce management at every level.
• Non-compete regulations: The Federal Trade Commission abandoned its proposed nationwide ban on non-compete agreements, while states such as Florida and Kansas enacted employer-friendly laws.

Employers face a rapidly evolving legal landscape, and understanding the nuances of 2025's changes is essential for effective planning and compliance in 2026.
