Compliance in 2025: Why falling behind Isn’t an option
Labor law is changing—fast. Is your organization keeping up?
Employment laws are more complex and demanding than ever. Yet most organizations are unprepared: outdated processes, underfunded teams, and reactive strategies are leaving HR departments exposed to serious legal and financial risk.
Key findings from the 2025 Compliance Executive Summary:
- Only 33% of organizations take a proactive approach to labor law compliance
- 34% have already faced employment-related enforcement in the past year
- Just 13% have fully up-to-date compliance systems in place
- 49% say their compliance initiatives are underfunded
The top concerns?
- Wage and hour laws
- Family and medical leave
- Benefits-related regulations
As legal demands grow, compliance leaders are pulling ahead—they’re more likely to invest in technology, conduct frequent audits, and integrate AI for monitoring.
The cost of doing nothing is rising.
This report outlines where the gaps are—and what HR and compliance teams can do now to prepare for what’s next.
