The employment law landscape is constantly changing. The nature of the law means that what was seen as best practice last year may not necessarily be legally compliant this year and with the ever-changing demands of the workforce it is vital for HR to stay one step ahead of potential developments.

This year has already seen key opinions at European level in the areas of disability and annual leave as well as continued debate on the status of agency workers. With the Corporate Manslaughter and Homicide Act set to come into force in April and the Employment Bill reforms it is essential for HR to keep up to date on how these changes will impact in the workplace and make a difference in your organisation.

Highlights of the conference include:
  • The Employment Bill reforms and the repeal of the statutory dispute resolution procedures
  • Understand the key developments in age, disability and religious discrimination
  • Learn how to manage ill-health effectively and tackle tricky issues such as sick pay and unfair dismissal
  • Gain a comprehensive update on the contract of employment covering issues such as temporary staff, restrictive covenants and garden leave
  • Understand the current law in relation to business transfers and redundancy
  • Gain an insight into new employment law effective 2008 in the areas of immigration, equal pay and corporate manslaughter
  • Hear best practice case studies on flexible working and absence management from BT and East Sussex County Council

With very best wishes,

Global Workforce Mobility
2-day conference, 24-25 July 2008, London
Each day is separately bookable

With the growth of migrant workers in the UK and the need to source and retain key talent, implementing overseas recruitment strategies now plays a key role within the global HR function. When recruiting into the UK it is essential for HR to be aware of the new immigration rules and regulations to avoid costly legal sanctions. Understanding the culture and integration issues, which arise when employing overseas workers, as well as the applicable tax and social security regimes, is certainly a must for companies wanting to stay ahead in this emerging market.

International growth also creates more opportunities for employees to work abroad and an increasing number of employees are engaging in international assignments and global client projects. Managing global reward and benefit packages and responding to local jurisdictional requirements can be a challenging process - HR not only need to stay legally compliant in these areas but also ensure that organisational working practices are both efficient and cost-effective to ensure maximum business potential.

JSB’s ‘Global Workforce Mobility’ conference covers all the ‘need to know’ areas for HR professionals wanting to overcome the operational challenges presented when managing a global workforce. If you recruit people from abroad or send employees on international assignments we have designed a unique conference with flexible booking options to suit your individual business requirements.
