The process of bringing production back home is gaining momentum as companies reconsider many of the previous benefits of offshoring. For years, offshoring was seen as a strategy to cut costs, but today, in light of geopolitical risks and troubled shipping lanes, #reshoring offers more than just financial incentives. It presents an opportunity to strengthen local economies, improve #supplychain resilience, and enhance long-term competitiveness. However, the path to successful reshoring is not without its challenges. In our latest blog, we explore some of the most critical factors to bringing business back to the States, like finding #skilledlabor and navigating infrastructure needs. In addition, we discuss how businesses and governments can collaboratively work together to address reshoring opportunities. https://hubs.ly/Q02T5MmT0

On July 23, 2024, Cal/OSHA’s “Heat Illness Prevention in Indoor Places of Employment" standard was approved by the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) and immediately went into effect. These new heat worker protections apply to most workplaces where the indoor temperature reaches 82°F, such as restaurants, warehouses, & manufacturing facilities. The regulation establishes required safety measures to prevent worker exposure to risk of heat illness (e.g., providing water, rest, cool-down areas, and training). California employers are required to implement strategic and operational plans to address this new standard. For more information, download our infographic: https://hubs.ly/Q02Mhvhf0.
