    What you’ll learn to do: summarize and discuss key laws affecting human resource management

    A business needs more than a big idea to be successful. If the business employs workers, it needs to adhere to a range of laws designed to ensure equal opportunity and workplace safety. In this section, we introduce key anti-discrimination and labor and safety legislation and related resources and provide perspective on the cost of failing to comply with the law.
