Event Description

Welcome to the future of work!

With better technology, higher costs and changing expectations, remote working is here to stay. Flexibility is the key word as companies compete to catch and keep the best talent. With new laws in the UK, employees can request flexible working arrangements from day one. This isn’t a minor change – it’s a revolutionary shift in the relationship between you and your team, and it doesn’t stop with working from home – are you ready for the future of work, where the office could be anywhere?

Why should you care?

Flexibility isn’t just about working from home; it’s about tapping into a potentially global talent pool and building teams and cultures that drive your business performance and growth. Who wouldn’t want that?

However, freedom comes with responsibilities and businesses are faced with significant challenges. Can you make your team come into the office when you need them? How do you manage staff who work remotely – or even from a different country? What are the risks when you hire employees and freelancers from across the globe?

What’s in it for you?

You’ll hear from employment law experts from Tughans LLP about:

  • Legal update: get a snapshot of the flexible working landscape in the UK and the differences in NI.
  • The future workplace: the legal models companies are using to stay agile and access a wider talent pool.
  • Making flexibility work: how to set expectations for staff and say no – safely.
  • Current practices audit: the key issues to think about when you’re hiring a remote worker – in the UK or elsewhere. Stay legal and avoid risks before they happen.
  • Protecting your business: how to protect your confidential information and intellectual property when using freelancers and hiring remotely.

Who should attend this event?

This seminar is aimed at anyone recruiting or managing staff in industries where flexibility is in demand. We’re talking about the key legal issues, whether you’re gearing up to hire your first employee or already have a full team behind you.

Why attend this event?

The truth is that the future is already here. Companies are struggling to hire without the promise of flexibility, and many are looking further and further for the skills they need. By understanding and implementing remote working safely and effectively, you can minimise the legal risks and concentrate on what matters – attracting top talent and keeping them. Make flexibility work for you!

Our speakers are expert employment lawyers from one of Northern Ireland’s leading law firms.

They help businesses get it right and fix things when they go wrong.
