About this Event
Let’s wrap up 2026 and unwrap what’s ahead!
Join us for our Employment Law Update, where we’ll take a look back at the key employment law developments from 2026 and turn our attention to what’s coming up in 2027.
We’ll explore the changes employers need to have on their radar, what they could mean in practice for HR teams and managers, and the steps organisations can take to prepare.
You can expect:
- A practical round-up of the key employment law developments from 2026
- A look ahead at the changes and emerging issues to watch in 2027
- Practical insights to help you understand what the developments could mean for your organisation
- Key considerations and actions to take away and think about for the year ahead
- Time to connect, catch up and exchange experiences with fellow HR and people professionals, with some festive cheer along the way
Whether you’re looking to refresh your knowledge, sense-check your priorities for 2027 or simply enjoy a valuable end-of-year catch-up with others in the profession, we’d love you to join us.
Come along, get up to speed and head into 2027 feeling informed, prepared and ready for what’s next.
