The world continuously changes despite the COVID-19 pandemic and it is equating to facing challenges in the workplace. However, we can focus in putting a good note on a few possible trends that may arise in compliance and how it is relevant to various industries.
1. Business operations would reopen. Since 2021, many businesses delayed in reopening in-person operations due to the delta variant and low vaccine rates. But with the availability for vaccinations and promoting remote or hybrid work, it is quite inevitable that accommodating reopening of businesses in-person would happen.
2. Enforcing non-solicitation clauses. With the last year's shift in noncompete litigation action, it is being advised that new employees should be fully advised of potential consequences of violating or using any of their previous employers' confidential information. Hence, it protects existing talent within the industry and take non-solicitation efforts seriously.
3. More litigation over choice of law. It is possible that battles over which states' laws would apply is sought as it allows employers to review and revise their laws in line with compliance.
There are more upcoming trends related to compliance and this is just a predictable and theoretical predictions of how it may influence the future of compliance. Nevertheless, the notable three trends can bring positive changes to adapt with the ever-changing laws, regulations, policies, and procedures for companies.
