In Part 2 of our CHRO Survival Guide series, we explored the costs of deregulation, the intensity of I-9 and E-Verify enforcement, and the impact of AI on HR compliance. In this final installment, Part 3 turns to the human side of HR leadership. We’ll examine how CHROs are navigating talent shortages, balancing automation with personalization in hiring, and responding to growing employee expectations around wellbeing and flexibility.

In Part 1 of our CHRO Survival Guide series, we examined the regulatory “whiplash” caused by a surge of Executive Orders in 2025 and the uncertainty they’ve created for HR leaders. Part 2 of OutSolve’s 3-part research report, we shift focus to the hidden costs of deregulation and how policy rollbacks often increase, rather than decrease, internal complexity.  

Welcome to the first of our 3-part research series titled CHRO Survival Guide: Navigating Today's Regulatory Change and Challenges.
