Future proofing your workforce: Employment legislative reform
We will provide an update on the progress of the Employment Rights Bill and the draft Equality (Race and Disability) Bill. We will set out the key preparatory steps employers should consider in light of the forthcoming reforms - from the introduction of day-one rights for unfair dismissal to the evolving legal framework surrounding dismissal and re-engagement.
Case update
A practical update on the latest cases from the courts and tribunals – including an overview of the For Women Scotland case and how employers should balance competing beliefs in the workplace.
Workforce dynamics
We will explore some key areas of focus for employers, including:
- The importance of workplace culture and how this interplays with the new duty to prevent sexual harassment;
- Trade Union engagement in the new era of industrial relations; and
- Strategic considerations around team moves.
- What’s on the horizon? We will conclude the webinar with a horizon scan of what the future may look like for employment law.
