In a recent article by Capital Analytics Associates, Ward and Smith Co-Managing Director, Devon Williams, shared valuable insights on how women leaders in the Triangle are tackling sector challenges.
The article delved into the various obstacles and opportunities faced by women in leadership roles, shedding light on the strategies being employed to navigate through these challenges effectively. From the article:
Employers are facing several challenges and opportunities. The Federal Trade Commission proposed a rule that would purport to ban nearly all non-competes, and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has published legal guidance memos and case decisions regarding noncompetes, nondisclosure agreements, and non-disparagement provisions, wherein the NLRB takes the position that restrictive covenant provisions generally violate the National Labor Relations Act. Similarly, several states have passed laws limiting the enforceability of various restrictive covenants. We are seeing a trend toward increased agency action on these issues.
Anytime something is happening in society at large, it impacts the employment sector. We are seeing the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and an increasing number of states taking a hard look at pay equity and pay transparency. For instance, if an employer publishes an online job posting stating a position is remote, and can be based “anywhere,” that post can violate Colorado’s pay transparency law if the employer did not include the exact pay scale in the ad.
