It’s 532 year’s old and, like a whole bunch of other very important stuff including the helicopter, the parachute, and scuba gear, it was invented by Leonardo Da Vinci.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
