No matter where one falls on the political spectrum, the 2020 presidential election will shake up the American workforce. For employers, truly comprehending each candidate’s position may be the difference between a winning or losing workplace strategy.

Several benefit and workplace topics have emerged in the spotlight during this historic election year, including healthcare, of course, amid a once-in-a-century pandemic.

Trump: On Sept. 4, the president terminated diversity training for all federal agencies.

During the first presidential debate, he said, “We were paying people hundreds of thousands of dollars to teach very bad ideas and frankly, very sick ideas…They were teaching people to hate our country and I’m not going to do that…They were teaching people that our country is a horrible place. It’s a racist place. And they were teaching people to hate our country.”
