Our ever-popular HR & Employment Conference is BACK!
About this Event
The Conference
This year our conference will be held over two morning sessions (9 & 10 June) on Zoom!
We will have our usual informative sessions with guest speakers bringing you up-to-date with all things HR and Employment!
The full schedule can be viewed on the booking page, but some key highlight sessions include:
The Future of the workplace
Immigration and impact of Brexit for employers
Where are we now – Covid 19 session for employers
Ethical leadership
Working in the Gig Economy
Neurodiversity and the barriers that exist at work.
Goody Box
As part of your booking we would like to send you a goody box of locally sourced items, which hopefully will help you engage with your own personal wellbeing. This includes wellness products to encourage some ‘me-time’, coffee and chocolate to share and promote the time to talk movement, activities to promote physical health and recipes to encourage healthy eating.
Please can you provide an address when you book so that we can post these out before the conference. Your address will only be used for the purposes of sending the box and will not be used for any marketing and will be deleted after the event.
CPD Points
This conference is accredited by the Solicitors Regulation Authority for 5 CPD hours.
Life 2.0 – The New Normal May 18th at 10.00am – 11.00 am and 2.00pm – 3.00 pm (please specify which time you would like when booking).
The last year has seen the world of work turned upside-down. Thankfully, it is starting to feel as if normality, if not quite here, is just around the corner. What will the ‘new normal’ look like? We’ve learned a vast amount over the pandemic. Old stereotypes have been shattered and new possibilities revealed. How do we make the most of these opportunities?
We are delighted to have two fantastic speakers. HR specialist Vanessa Forster will share her research findings on the ways companies around the world are adapting to the new work trichotomy – remote, office and hybrid. Dr Wendy Ross will address some of the valuable aspects of team working that can be lost in a remote-working environment, drawing on her research in serendipity to consider ways of encouraging those chance corridor encounters in a world with no corridors.
Join us to hear two great speakers to share their thoughts. Sign up here.

Back in June 2020, Chris Scargill, Partner at Larking Gowen hosted a webinar – Hope or Fear?
The first steps for the sector – and almost one year on, the same guest speakers are back to reflect on the past 12 months, and how they are looking to the future. This will be a 1 hour presentation followed by a 30min Q&A with our expert panel.

What are the staffing practicalities around teams returning to work?
How are you maintaining communication and managing customer expectations through the transition?
What lessons have you learnt and what changes have you made or will you be making?
What do you see as the key risk aspects for 2021?
What legacy and changes do you think there will be? (dare we mention the word staycation)
What are the key challenges ahead and how are you planning for them?
Bilateral trade between the UK and UAE is worth more than £21bn per year and our investment links have never been stronger. The current trade negotiations have the potential to strengthen trade and investment in key sectors such as aviation, automotive and life sciences.
All eyes are on the UAE this year as the nation prepares to host COP28. There is a huge opportunity to influence the international trade landscape through investment and policies which raise green innovation and trade in green goods and services.
The UAE’s ambitions were set out in Glasgow during COP 26 when they pledged to reach net zero by 2050. The UAE has led from the front in a region traditionally powered by hydrocarbons, holding the record for the largest increase in renewable capacity globally over the past decade.
The UK and the UAE share a long history of collaboration in sectors from infrastructure and education to healthcare and financial services. More recently, this has included working together in renewable energy too. Over a decade ago, Masdar made an investment into the London Array wind farm off the coast of Essex. Today this is one of the largest wind farms in the world, powering over half a million homes and displacing 925,000 tonnes of C02 emissions each year.’
Join us and gain fascinating insights into achieving supply chain success with UAE. Hear more about the popular trade lanes, the latest supply chain developments in the region and a forward thinking population, all of which make the UAE a hugely interesting market to do business in.
Event speakers
Khalid Al Qasimi, Deputy Head of Mission at the UAE Embassy in London
Souad M. Al Hosani, Executive Director and Head of Asset Management Sales at First Abu Dhabi Bank
Would you like to know more about Behavioural Economics? Why we do what we do, rather than what we should do…
What is it? Behavioural Economics is increasing our understanding of the way we make decisions. This knowledge is helping businesses develop more profitable models, regulators more effective controls and governments more efficient incentives.
In this session will look at the theories underpinning the science and consider some of the more common decision errors.
By the end of the session, you will have a greater insight into the ways a gentle nudge may be more effective than a hefty shove!
Curious about innovation? Join this conference to learn from leading innovative companies about how they get it right and gain the knowledge to apply innovation in your business.
Expert speakers will outline how they have harnessed technology to grow their businesses.
Practical workshops will provide you with the tools you need to access innovation support and funding.
These workshops will be run during the afternoon session. On registering you will have a choice to select up to 3 of our “Gallery of Support” partners you’d like to hear from.
