Two of my colleagues and I attended a Lunch and Learn session with Tina and Gemma on the latest changes in employment law. It was incredibly informative and engaging. Tina and Gemma did an excellent job breaking down complex legal updates into understandable and actionable insights. The session not only highlighted the key changes, but also provided practical advice on how to implement these updates in our organisation. I left feeling much more confident about navigating the new regulations and ensuring that we remain compliant. I highly recommend these sessions to any organisation that is looking to stay ahead in the ever changing world of employment law!
