Loch Associates – The UK’s Employment Law is changing – make sure you’re prepared

If you’re a business with employees, this is an event you won’t want to miss. The changes that the Government is expected to make in October could see a swing in the pendulum of power towards employees and workers, significantly impacting your organisation, both from a recruitment and a people management perspective.

We are expecting to see the Government table two Bills as part of their radical reforms of the employment law – an Employment Rights Bill and a draft Equality (Race and Disability) Bill. Our interactive session, hosted by Solicitors Amy White and Pam Loch from Loch Associates Group, will delve into the details, look at the potential consequences for employers large and small, and consider the steps that all businesses need to take to prepare for these future changes.

Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce, Camilla Maurice – The Education Landscape: how local employers hold the key to addressing skills and labour shortages

A skilled workforce is at the heart of every business, yet navigating the complexity of the education landscape and the myriad ways of engaging with schools and colleges can be overwhelming. The Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) acts as a blueprint for addressing regional skills gaps and shortages. By placing employers at the forefront of local skills and education discussions, it ensures their needs are central to finding solutions. There are many ways employers can get involved- but which is best for your business, and how will they help connect you to your future workforce, or boost productivity by upskilling your current team?
