Summer 2021 edition - emerging from the chaos

The tide in the war against the pandemic, at least in the developed world, appears now to be turning as the levels of vaccinations start to surge.

As in any great conflict where governments are forced to take the lead, new technologies are developed, shortcomings identified, and opportunities created. The landscape changes; things are never quite the same again. The world of work is no exception.

In our latest edition of Horizon Scanning we look at the global trends influencing the HR and employment law agenda and how all this is being impacted by COVID-19. The topics covered include:

  • the modern workplace
  • the workforce of the future
  • health and wellbeing
  • environmental, social and corporate governance
  • privacy and employee data
  • business protection
  • a special feature on technology & AI

We have also prepared a jurisdictional guide to legal changes we anticipate over the coming months across the EU and APAC with a 'traffic light' code to help organisations prioritise attention to them.

We have also created sector-specific commentaries to make these topics ever more relevant to you and your business.

Please email [email protected] if you would like to receive a copy, where relevant specifying your sector from the following:

  • General
  • Automotive
  • Energy & Utilities
  • Financial Services
  • Life Sciences & Healthcare
  • Media, Entertainment & Sport
  • Retail & Consumer
  • Technology & Communications
