About this episode

Protecting Employers: Practical U.S. Immigration Compliance Strategies for HR Teams breaks down the real-world risks employers face in today’s rapidly evolving immigration landscape. Host Hector Chichoni, Greenspoon Marder Immigration Partner and special guest Laura Barbieri, SHRM-CP, ICF-PCC, walk through the key compliance challenges HR teams encounter, from I-9 errors and remote, work verification issues to visa‑related obligations, workforce planning, and audit preparation. Together, they explain how proactive processes, consistent documentation, and cross‑department coordination can significantly reduce exposure and strengthen organizational readiness.

This session answers the questions HR leaders are asking now: What are the most common I-9 pitfalls? How should remote I-9s be handled? What visa changes require legal review? What does it mean to be “audit‑ready”? And how can HR protect the business before an enforcement action occurs? Whether you’re scaling your workforce, managing sponsored employees, or preparing for potential audits, this discussion offers practical guidance you can implement immediately.
