Now’s the time to ensure your business remains compliant with employment law changes.
As working conditions across the UK adapt and develop with every passing year, HR professionals continue to play a vital role in remaining compliant when onboarding and looking after employees across the workforce.
Employment law is extremely dynamic, jurisdiction-specific and subject to frequent legislative and case law developments – making it all the more important that HR professionals stay up to date with the latest changes that may affect their business.
Join Reed and our guest speakers Michael Delaney and Rebecca Fox, both partners and employment lawyers at law firm VWV, as we examine the changes to employment law and how you can keep your company compliant.
During this face-to-face event at the VWV office in Watford, we’ll be reviewing recent cases, and examining topics such as flexible working, sexual harassment, redundancy and return to work, holiday pay and menopause.
This event provides a great opportunity to network with like-minded individuals and share best practice within the HR space.
