Crew Resource Management: Employment Trends and Challenges

The world of employment risk is an evolving landscape. Gone are the days when nonprofit human resource professionals—or staff wearing HR hats—could simply update handbooks to reflect recently passed state and federal employment laws and classify employees with minimal worry about the consequences.
