Who in their right mind would go through the headache of bringing suit against a company just for financial gain? The cost alone is a deterrent, and the potential monetary gain is marginal. It doesn’t make sense. SHRM is out of their mind.
A mighty risky stance for them to take as an organization. And very disheartening for HR professionals who are staunch advocates of Healthy Workplace. I fully oppose frivolous/baseless lawsuits against employers and can understand concern in legislature that is too broad, but to denounce employee protections across the board….that literally takes the “Human” AND the “Resource” out of Human Resource Professional!
