Considering all the information discussed throughout this course, prepare a training presentation for new HR professionals about employment and labor laws that will impact an organization (nationally and internationally).

Option #1: Are They Similar?
Employment and labor laws vary from country to country. Foreign labor laws generally provide much more protection for workers than labor laws in the United States. While the Fair Labor Standards Act in the U.S. establishes a minimum wage and overtime pay for hourly workers, it doesn't limit the number of hours a company can require an employee to work. In Mexico, however, the Constitution establishes a maximum of eight hours for shift workers, a maximum of seven hours for the night shift, and a maximum of nine hours of overtime per week. For every six days of work, Mexico's workers must have one day off.

Majhoshev (2017) (Links to an external site.) explained that the right of workers to form and join trade unions is one of the most important international labor standards. That said, union membership in the United States continues to decrease.

There are differing schools of thought about the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Some feel that the FMLA has gone too far, while others advocate for extending the reach of the FMLA because the Act does not provide enough coverage or does not properly compensate those taking the leave.

For some, though, the concern remains how to further reduce, if not eliminate, issues related to harassment and discrimination. With that as a background, address the following:

What are two specific strategies, not already taken/utilized by other students, that a human resource professional should pursue to further reduce harassment and discrimination in the workplace today?
How can these strate
