🎯HR on The Solway - Summer Networking & CPD | Tickets Now Available
"Beyond the Policy: A Women's Safety, Menopause and Workplace Wellbeing Perspective"
We have TWO brilliant speakers joining us for our Summer event and honestly, this might be our most important session yet.
Does your organisation have a policy on sexual harassment or does it have something that would actually hold up at tribunal?
Under the Worker Protection Act, those are two very different things. If a claim succeeds and an employer can't demonstrate they met their preventative duty, compensation can be increased by up to 25%.
Sarah Schofield from The Safe Woman is going to help us understand what genuine prevention actually looks like in practice.
And then Lindsay Thomson from CBT with Lindsay will be delivering a powerful, evidence-based session on menopause in the workplace, giving HR professionals and managers the tools and confidence to have the conversations that actually make a difference.
Two local women.
Two topics HR deals with every single day.
One lunch time session that will send you back to your organisation with something genuinely useful.
