In the run up to the New Year we will be looking at the key issues affecting employers in 2016 and what you need to know to stay ahead.

Flexibility

Following on from our popular September seminar on Flexibility, we are pleased to release our latest video - How HR should manage the cultural revolution. Click here to watch the short video. In the video Heidi Watson highlights how technological advances have created opportunities for more flexible forms of working whilst employment regulation has escalated to protect workers' rights, and she questions whether society and business have yet caught up with this revolution.
