Strengthening Workplace Competitiveness and Employer Flexibility
North Carolina’s economic competitiveness depends on workplaces that are predictable, flexible, and capable of attracting and retaining talent.
The NC Chamber advocates for policies that support employer certainty, workplace engagement, and a competitive labor environment, while opposing unnecessary mandates and regulatory burdens that make it harder for businesses to grow and hire.
North Carolina’s longstanding right-to-work status remains an important component of the state’s business climate and economic competitiveness. The NC Chamber supports policies that preserve employer flexibility and help maintain North Carolina’s ability to attract investment, jobs, and talent.

Championing Employer-Led Efforts
Strong workplace cultures are also increasingly important to talent attraction, retention, and employee engagement.
The NC Chamber supports employer-led efforts that strengthen workplace culture, expand opportunity, and help businesses build and retain high-performing teams. This includes initiatives focused on veterans hiring, Second Chance employment pathways, and supplier engagement across North Carolina communities.
