What's Being Discussed

The Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR) is holding its eighth listening session with the Employer Engagement Committee. This session is part of an ongoing series where the DLIR gathers input and feedback directly from employers across the state.

• Topics are expected to focus on employer concerns and experiences related to labor and workforce issues in Hawaii.
• The session provides an opportunity for employers to share feedback with the department in an open forum setting.
• This is a listening session, meaning the primary purpose is to hear from participants rather than present formal proposals.

Decisions Expected

No formal votes or binding decisions are anticipated at this meeting. As a listening session, the focus is on gathering information and public input rather than taking official action. Feedback collected may inform future policy or program decisions by the DLIR.

Who Should Pay Attention

• Hawaii employers of any size or industry who want to share concerns or experiences with the state labor department
• Business owners and HR professionals who deal with workforce, hiring, or labor compliance issues
• Industry associations and chambers of commerce representing employer interests
• Anyone interested in how Hawaii's labor policies and programs affect the business community

The meeting can be attended in person at the DLIR Building, 830 Punchbowl Street, Room 317, Honolulu, or virtually via Zoom. Contact the DLIR for Zoom access details.
