PIMFA
Challenging times lie ahead for HR leaders, but so do opportunities. In the first HR Briefing of the year, the employment team at Clyde & Co. will review what you might have missed in 2024, and what you need to know to prepare for the employment law changes in 2025.
In this  HR Briefing session, Chris Holme and Shadia El Dardiry will take you through both recent and upcoming changes which are significant for HR professionals and in-house lawyers in PIMFA member firms this year.
They will look back at the key employment law developments in 2024, and will consider what these mean for financial services firms. In addition, they will provide a case law update on key decisions from last year.
There are a number of changes being introduced this year which they will take you through – as well as the practical steps you should be considering in 2025 in order to prepare for the significant upcoming employment law reforms. The webinar will also remind firms of the proposed regulatory changes on non-financial misconduct and diversity and inclusion in relation to which the FCA is publishing policy statements.
