We offer a quarterly training session on Employment Law and HR issues. The sessions include a briefing from our employment specialists on a set topic and practical discussion and working through hypothetical situations. For our first event of 2012, we will look at what is in the pipeline for 2012. There is quite a lot to prepare for! The coalition government's agenda is to cut regulation but to increase family friendly policies, an agenda which may prove contradictory in practice. In addition, significant employment tribunal reform is on the table as well as some smaller, but no less important, changes. Join the us to ensure that you are prepared for what will almost certainly prove to be a big year for employment law change and reform.
