Employment

Understanding employment law

As you prepare to engage the workforce of the future and adapt to changing customer and employee expectations, it is vital to understand the rapidly developing employment law landscape and manage your associated people related risks. How you recruit, manage, protect and retain employees needs an agile approach, based on insight, to balance risk, unlock potential and identify opportunities for growth and transformation.

How are you responding to critical employment challenges?

The future of work

How we work, our place of work and what we mean by “work” is being transformed. What does this mean for your business and how will it adapt in a legally compliant way?

Managing complexity

People-related risks are increasingly challenging, particularly in a complex and rapidly developing regulatory landscape and at a time of significant uncertainty. Do you have a clear understanding of your obligations to your people and their responsibilities to your business? How are you keeping that understanding up-to-date? 

Transparency, trust and equality

It is vital in the modern business world to attract and retain talent and ensure that trust in business is maintained. Is your workplace diversity agenda robust enough to ensure your people are treated in the right way and to protect your brand from adverse public perception?
