Training Overview
Non-compete agreements—prepare for the ban. Learn how the July 9 Executive Order will affect you.
On July 9, President Biden issued an executive order encouraging the Federal Trade Commission to ban or at least limit the use of non-competes, even by private corporations. Biden’s rationale is that “in over 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of large companies control more of the business than they did twenty years ago.” He is concerned that barriers to competition suppress wages and drive up the prices consumers pay for goods and services, reporting that this costs the average U.S. household $5,000 a year.
You need to understand how the elimination of non-compete agreements will affect your organization and immediately take steps to prepare.
