Jaime Klein, President and Founder of Inspire HR, discusses the rise in sexual harassment allegations in the workplace today and the role that HR plays in curating an accepting workplace culture. Klein says that when it comes to complaints filed, HR is the first responder, and it is up to that department to make sure that those speaking out feel comfortable. And employees should try to find a leader or manager that they're comfortable approaching. Klein weighs in on the gender pay gap and the importance of putting women in influential roles. We talk about why women have sometimes taken decades to speak out, out of fear of retaliation and what it means if HR departments are just hearing those claims today.

Trump Administration Shutters Consumer Protection Agency
The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
