HRPA's Public Policy Agenda

HR Policy Association’s public policy position statements outline our perspectives on key workforce and employment issues, reflecting the priorities of our members and the broader HR community. These statements articulate our stance on legislative and regulatory matters that impact employers, employees, and the workplace. By advocating for forward-thinking policies, HRPA seeks to influence decision-making at all levels to foster fair, effective, and sustainable workforce policies.

Innovation & the Future of Artificial Intelligence

As artificial intelligence reshapes the workforce, organizations must proactively adapt to remain competitive. HRPA members are committed to leveraging AI transparently and responsibly to enhance efficiency, workforce engagement, and job alignment. Chief Human Resource Officers play a key role in guiding AI-driven transformations while fostering continuous learning. To support responsible AI adoption, policymakers should align new regulations with existing laws, adopt flexible governance approaches, and invest in workforce upskilling.

Immigration & The American Workforce

With the U.S. labor force shrinking and demand for skilled workers rising, immigration reform is essential to sustaining economic growth and global competitiveness. HRPA supports policies that retain top STEM graduates, modernize visa and green card processes, and provide a pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients. Without action, the U.S. risks falling behind in the global race for talent. Read our full position statement to explore HRPA’s recommendations for a stronger, more competitive workforce.
