Possible Civil Rights Reform Under Obama Could Benefit Businesses

Steven Loewengart, Managing Partner of the Columbus office, provided commentary in the January 24 issue of Workforce Management. The article “Possible Civil Rights Reform Under Obama Could Benefit Businesses” cited several civil rights issues that President Barack Obama outlined in his second inaugural address. The president spoke on women’s rights, same-sex marriage laws and the immigration reform movement. Steven agreed that it is essential to address these issues in order for the economy to recover and the country to continue to grow. He said businesses can benefit from adopting more inclusive policies regardless of federal legislation. “Any time there are restrictions on the hiring base, companies are missing on talent since great talent comes from all groups of people.”
