The first year of President Donald Trump's second term has seen significant changes in business, including new import tariffs, trade wars, and geopolitical conflicts. However, a survey by Littler's Workplace Policy Institute revealed that the government's anti-DEI and immigration policies were the most significant disruptions cited by over 300 in-house lawyers, human resources professionals and C-suite respondents. The survey also revealed that 71% of executives identified the president's actions as the biggest challenges they faced under his first year in office, with 65% identifying his tightened immigration requirements and deportation campaign as the most disruptive measures. Despite these challenges, companies reported increased workforce reductions and increased costs of health insurance coverage for workers.
