Brainfood Live On Air - Ep281 - US Presidential Election - Impact on TA and HR

The Recruiting Brainfood Podcast

US Presidential Election: Implications for TA / HR Perhaps the most significant election on the planet is who our American friends choose to be the next President of the country. Will it be current VP Kamala Harris who offers a continuity programme or will be it be a remarkable return to Donald Trump for a second term? It's an incredible moment and one which has huge implications for TA / HR particularly given that the two candidates represent two sides of a culture war in which our sector plays a prominent part. We will not likely know the result by the time we go on air, nor will we use the moment to stoke tension but we will be trying to anticipate what implications either a Harris or Trump win will produce for the People function - Economic policy: end of taxation / increase in tariffs? - Data privacy / data security - how do vendors react? - DEIB: two polar opposites, what can we expect in advent of a Trump win? - Public sector employment: do we anticipate the gutting of government (therefore thousands of jobs) - Industrial policy: where do we expect investment to continue, increase or decrease - Immigration: how do the two politicians differ on immigration - Company policy: in a heated political environment, what is the best policy that employers should take? - What to do when politics bleeds in to company chat? - Future of TA / HR - Trump / Musk pretty much anti-HR. What can we expect in terms of policy? - International: can we expect brain drain in advent of victory for either side? All this and more on Brainfood Live On Air.
