Legal Primer
DIGITAL BRIEFING ONLY
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The event is open to all PARC members but participation is most appropriate for those accountable for keeping the member team informed and up to date on legal risk and its potential impact on Performance and Reward strategies, including reporting requirements.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Most of our members have access to in house and external legal resource or regulatory expertise but this session is intended to give a helpful and instructive round-up of what you should be aware of and explore further via your own resources.
EVENT CONTENT
This digital event will provide a short but comprehensive summary of key employment and benefit regulation in the UK, and internationally. It will also look to the expectations for 2025 and offer an update on the employment reforms of Keir Starmer’s UK Government, both current and forecast. It will address the changes, and potential developments, that could effect the work and planning of our members.
ANYTHING ELSE?
This session will be recorded and made available to all members as a digital resource.
