Employment, Immigration and Pensions
Effectively managing a workforce necessitates compliance with dynamic employment and labour laws, staying abreast of ever-evolving regulations, addressing the evolving demands of labour unions, and facilitating the swift movement of talent across borders. It also involves crafting strategies to retain high-potential employees, particularly during reorganizations and spinoffs. To achieve these objectives, employers must remain current on the latest employment trends, spanning workforce restructuring, reward programs, and labour and human rights.
