Policy in Motion: Federal Enforcement and State Legislative Trends Shaping the Workplace 

May 2026

Key Insights

  1. Executive Orders are becoming increasingly operational. Federal agencies are continuing to issue proposed regulations and guidance that translate the 2025 Executive Orders into concrete policy requirements, barring legal challenges.  
  2. Agency attention to employer inclusion practices is increasing. Activity from the FCC and EEOC reflects broader agency interest in inclusion programs, highlighting the importance of cross-functional preparedness. 
  3. State legislation continues to create a complex compliance environment. New and pending legislation in Mississippi and Missouri signals a growing patchwork of state laws around gender identity.
