BFFF HR Forum: Breaking down the Employment Bill & HR Update | Shakespeare Martineau
With the Employment Bill progressing through parliament and Labour’s suggestion that this is the “biggest change to workers’ rights in a generation”, join us at our online BFFF HR Forum in partnership with Shakespeare Martineau where we will throw a spotlight onto the Bill, and we will talk through changes that are proposed and the practical impact these are likely to have for businesses.
We will also provide an update on some of the major issues in employment / HR and what you need to be aware of in your business.
This session will also provide an opportunity to share thoughts on the proposed changes Labour have outlined and to discuss the impact of other employment law changed and decisions made by the Courts.
We look forward to seeing you at this next session and will be on hand to answer any questions you may have around this important issue
Please note you will be redirected to Zoom and by registering for this joint event, your registration details will be available to BFFF and Shakespeare Martineau.
