Motivating Safe Work Practices

Your New HR Law
Aside from the laws your learned about in the textbook and the pending legislation you researched, if you had sole authority to implement a completely new HR-related law nationwide, what would it be? Think big. Get creative.
For example, I’d make reverse age discrimination illegal in the workplace and in employment-related decisions. This would basically expand the Age Discrimination in Employment Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of age, whether the complainant is older or younger than the referent(s).
