casual, fixed-term and other temporary work
self-employed working
volunteers
the regulations on part-time and fixed-term working
the agency work regulations
the impact of the Equality Act
how changes in the law in this area affects employers' resourcing practice, including 'flexible working requests' and work-life-balance policies.

By the end of the seminar delegates will have identified the key areas where employers' practices may need to change, and some possibilities for action.

Who should attend:
This half day session is aimed at HR professionals.
