This is a great opportunity to remain up to date on the latest developments in the world of Human Resources while connecting with other Managers, Business Owners, and HR Professionals with similar responsibilities and challenges. This Forum will provide valuable information about the ever changing HR legislation and what that means to you in practical terms.
The primary focus of this particular HR Forum is “absenteeism” whereby we will gain strategies for managing this HR challenge in an effective, professional, and legal manner.
Michele Piertney from ACAS will be on-hand to discuss best practice, the Fit For Work Scheme, and the importance of Return to Work Interviews of the absenteeism issue. We will also feature Thomas Wood from Forbes Solicitors, and Dr. Sharon Xuereb of Zenith CTC to speak to the legal and practical best-practice methods for handling the subject of absenteeism. We will have a Q & A panel at the end of the speaking sessions for interaction with other HR professionals and Managers.
