10:05 Bullying & Harassment at Work: “Myths and Realities”

Bullying and harassment continues to be a major challenge for organisations of all sizes in the UK. This interactive session is designed to promote understanding of the issues, and provide delegates with the confidence to tackle inappropriate behaviour in the workplace. Our speaker on this topic is Jean Kelly, who has 20 years relevant experience as a trainer, consultant, coach, and author. Speaker: Jean Kelly, Jean Kelly Consultancy Ltd

10:50 Break/ Refreshments/ Networking

11.10 Employment Law: “Evolution or Revolution?”

The Employment Law jungle is difficult to navigate through, but we are fortunate to have secured an expert guide for our journey. Tim will ask whether the promised evolution of Government reforms will prove successful, consider the new legislation (including the various ACAS Codes), and offer an overview of the brave new employment landscape. Tim will also provide a review of cases that have caught his eye and share some of his legal know-how. Speaker: Tim Randles, Associate, Penningtons Solicitors LLP

11:45 Employee Benefits: “Taming the Beast”

Steve will look at a mixed bag of subjects, all of which are potentially significant for both employers, employees and employee benefits. Topics covered will include employee engagement, the Government’s response to The Sickness Absence Review, and recent budget changes to both healthcare treatments and childcare costs. In addition, Steve will seek to dispel some Pensions Auto-Enrolment myths. Speaker: Steve Herbert, Head of Benefits Strategy, Jelf Employee Benefits
