Latin America remains a robust investment opportunity while also presenting a unique set of challenges. The region is made up of a diverse set of countries with varying levels of stability and maturity from an economic and government perspective. Many multinational corporations operate within Mexico and Brazil, two countries offering larger customer and employee markets and fairly stable government and legal structures. Similarly, both countries have very employee- and union-friendly employment law frameworks, making operations in the area challenging. Unions in Latin America can be powerful, making it essential for CHROs and HR Executives to understand the applicable frameworks.
An important region for HR Policy Members, HR Policy Global regularly tracks important HR and Labor updates in the region, helping our members stay ahead of developing HR challenges. With a premium HR Policy Global membership, enjoy unlimited company-wide access to the program’s essential benefits.
