The UK has now taken the first formal steps towards leaving the European Union. British Employers must now adapt their business practices for a new - and as yet unknown – era ahead. But how should employers begin this process?

To help answer this question we are delighted to announce the latest Jelf Employment Seminar in London. Our expert and highly-evolved speaker line-up will be introduced by the ever-popular Peter Matthews, and includes:

• An update on all the key Employment Law changes from Matt Jenkin
• A review of the complex & changing world of Employee Benefits with Steve Herbert
• Katie Vye on the better use and targeting of Workplace Financial Education programmes

and…

• We are delighted to welcome Dame Carol Black to speak on Sickness Absence. Dame Carol is widely acknowledged to be one of the key experts on this topic, and our audience are sure to benefit from her insights in this ever important area.

And of course we have another superb venue for our delegates to enjoy. This time we return to the world famous Natural History Museum, with its breath-taking collection of galleries including Volcanoes, Mammals, Insects and the superb Dinosaur collection. All our delegates will have free access to the museum after the event. The Natural History Museum is of course centrally located and easily accessible via public transport links.
