Combat I&D Compliance Changes with SHRM BLUEPRINT 2025

July 24, 2025 | Martha Ekdahl

Navigating employment law has always been an essential part of HR, but in 2025, the stakes are higher than ever. With Supreme Court rulings such as Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services and evolving U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidance impacting inclusion and diversity (I&D) policies, regulation changes are happening fast. For HR professionals, staying proactive isn’t just about avoiding fines — it’s about building trust, fostering innovation, and driving organizational success. 

“Legally compliant” is a core pillar of the I&D approach that will be featured at SHRM BLUEPRINT 2025 (BLUEPRINT 2025), an event focused on drafting the future of work by equipping HR professionals with I&D tools and strategies. In addition to workplace unifying and business accretive, legal compliance stands as a crucial component of building an organization ready for future challenges.

Event: SHRM BLUEPRINT 2025

The Foundations of HR Compliance 

Employment laws are constantly evolving. Amid new executive orders and stricter public scrutiny of workplace policies, HR leaders face growing pressures to adapt. Despite these challenges, compliance remains an area of strength for HR. In fact, 70% of HR professionals and 74% of HR executives said they believe their organization is “effective” or “very effective” at managing workplace dynamics and ensuring labor law compliance, according to the 2025 SHRM State of the Workplace report.

To maintain this command over compliance, HR leaders need to recognize the shifting nature of regulations while balancing the need to foster a workplace culture built on trust and psychological safety.

The costs of failing at these tasks include government fines, legal fees, and mandated payments to employees. A survey from Cypher Learning found that the dollar cost of noncompliance at the hands of employees can reach $1.6 million per year.

When factoring in the impact of mistrust on company culture, costs also come in the form of employee disengagement. In fact, organizations with civil and psychologically safe cultures were more likely to have had difficult conversations that contribute to organizational improvement and success, according to SHRM’s Difficult and Political Conversations in the Workplace report.

Step Up with BLUEPRINT 2025 

For HR professionals ready to tackle these challenges head-on, BLUEPRINT 2025 will equip you with actionable strategies to master legal compliance. In small group sessions analyzing case law and case studies, this program will help HR leaders build inclusive, compliant workplaces.

BLUEPRINT 2025 will go hand in hand with tools such as SHRM’s Belonging Enhanced by Access through Merit (BEAM) framework. BEAM tackles supporting inclusion while helping to eliminate bias and ensure regulatory alignment, providing a way for HR leaders to measure programs and efforts to support compliance and a positive workplace culture.

By attending BLUEPRINT 2025, you’ll gain the tools, insights, and confidence to lead compliance efforts effectively in a rapidly changing environment.

Compliance as a Competitive Advantage 

Ultimately, compliance in 2025 is so much more than a checklist. When HR departments can be sure that they’re legally compliant, it frees up strategic assets, allowing them to focus on alignment with strategic business goals. 

With compliance in check, HR leaders can help guide organizations through future waves in the regulatory environment while caring for the workforce that propels them.
