Increased costs and supply chain disruptions caused by lockdowns and the Russia-Ukraine war are only exacerbating problems in the manufacturing industry. Employers in the manufacturing industry are now faced […]

The internet has revolutionized the world in countless ways. Before the last few decades, most people handled their banking needs at an actual bank.

The United States is often referred to as a “melting pot.” Few other countries are as diverse as the U.S., and many small and medium-sized businesses reflect this. Companies with employees of varied backgrounds, cultures, genders, and ethnicities benefit from workers’ unique life experiences and perspectives. Originality, creativity, and outside-the-box thinking are just some of the advantages associated with a diverse workforce. Businesses staffed with employees of differing life experiences are also less likely to get caught up in groupthink which leads to suboptimal business practices and stagnation.

Posted on March 16, 2021
As a business law attorney, I am acutely aware of how important small and medium-sized businesses are to the American economy.
