In-House Employment Counsel and Human Resources Executives may soon find themselves called on to provide input into their company’s SEC filings.  The SEC recently issued a new rule that requires a more comprehensive description of a public company’s human capital resources, if material, in the Company’s 10-K filing. These disclosures are likely to include statements about diversity and inclusion, compensation, hiring and other employment metrics that have traditionally been within the province of Employment Legal and Human Resources.
