Description
HR Professionals, Business Owners and Managers are all too aware of the on-going challenges in the area of Employment Law, Industrial Relation and HR Management. With the changes to existing legislation, new Acts being introduced and the sheer volume of case law, it can be extremely difficult for any Organisation to keep on top. This is coupled with increasing industrial unrest and ongoing discussions regarding pay.
This breakfast briefing will cover key topics including:
The Employment Law Landscape 2018 – from the planned introduction of zero hours contracts, the actual implications for HR in carrying out investigations and disciplinary processes following the Lyons High Court decision, GDPR and its impact on HR through to the new WRC Code of Practice on Longer Working, there is no shortage of areas for consideration for HR and Employment Law Practitioners
Industrial Relations Trends – with an increasing number of claims to the WRC, a continued trend towards industrial unrest across a number of sectors, challenges within the GIG economy and the constant dialogue around pay, there are several key areas for HR to watch out for this year
