Providers in the social care sector are facing an increasingly challenging outlook. There are growing strains on funding, increases to employer’s National Insurance contributions, the National Minimum Wage is rising and workers rights are being strengthened. Providers may feel they are being asked to do more for less and HR leaders are asked to balance financial constraints with the need to recruit, retain and engage a resilient workforce.
In our annual health and social care employment law update, our employment team will cover:
- Managing workforce changes and financial pressures. This includes avoiding legal pitfalls when changing roles, terms and conditions, handling restructures and managing service transfers (TUPE).
- Future employment law changes including how best to prepare. We will also discuss the Employment Rights Bill and key legal risks for social care employers.
- The legal duty to prevent sexual harassment and how HR teams can comply with the law and mitigate risks in social care settings.
Our experts will also provide strategic insights and practical guidance to help HR professionals navigate these challenges with confidence.
Who should attend?
This session is designed for senior HR leaders looking to future-proof their workforce strategies while ensuring compliance and sustainability in an evolving legal and economic landscape.
