Every year presents HR teams with new challenges and opportunities, driven by changes in the law and evolving workplace trends—and 2026 is no exception. This session will unpack the latest federal and state trends affecting employers across the greater Kansas City region, including new mandates, guidelines, and laws that are impacting everything from hiring and pay practices to workplace policies and daily HR operations. We’ll also explore emerging issues that are gaining national attention, from shifting enforcement priorities to evolving expectations around the use of technology in the workplace. As the landscape continues to change, this session will provide HR professionals with a forward‑looking perspective on the developments most likely to shape the months ahead.
