About this event
2023 was a busy year for HR professionals as many employers continued to grapple with how to best support their employees through the cost-of-living challenge whilst facing challenging times themselves financially. This difficult background also saw an increasing number of trade unions, in both the public and private sectors, pushing hard for significant pay rises which has also created additional tensions for employers. Sickness absence, hybrid working patterns and increasing numbers of grievances have also featured on the ‘to do’ list for many in HR.
Against this background, changes to employment legislation were announced and, of course, the Employment Tribunals and higher courts have continued to be busy with several important decisions landing.
2024 also has the potential to be a very significant one for employers - particularly if a Labour government comes to power as they have ambitious plans for significant employment law reform. All in all there’s a lot to keep on top of so do join our webinar to make sure you’re in the know and can plan ahead for a successful 2024 (and beyond)! In the webinar we will cover:
