Challenges and Solutions
North Carolina employers are regularly facing an onslaught of burdensome state regulations and employer mandates that prohibit economic growth and impact business predictability.
At the NC Chamber, we work in the best interest of the North Carolina business community by continuously researching and monitoring regulations and legislative changes, and particularly Occupational Safety and Health rules, that could harm predictable workplace practices for employers. We also advocate for sensible regulations to ensure the state does not enforce rules that are more stringent than federal laws.
North Carolina also has a longstanding status as a right-to-work (RTW) state. To continue NC’s competitiveness and to enhance the economic prospects of all North Carolinians, the NC Chamber will always advocate to protect our RTW statute.
Related to ensuring strong workplace cultures, the NC Chamber is also committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion programming, veterans hiring, and Second Chance initiatives across the state. As community bridge builders, employers are uniquely positioned to model the behavior and philosophies necessary to create a culture of belonging.
