Do you have employees based overseas? Are you aware of your legal and moral duties to those individuals, and do you have policies and procedures in place to best meet those responsibilities?

To help you answer and respond to the above questions, Jelf have established a panel of subject experts for this special event. The full agenda includes a look at International Employment Law, Health and Wellbeing for employees based outside of the UK, and the impact of global change of Medical Benefits. We have an expert panel of speakers for this event, including LBC’s Radio GP Dr Sneh Khemka. The full agenda is detailed later in this post.
