Address

On-Demand Webinar

To accommodate our global audience, this webinar will now be offered as an on-demand broadcast!

Cost

There is no cost to attend this program, however, registration is required.

Many businesses operate on a global basis, with reporting lines, work streams, and mobile employees often crossing multiple borders. HR and legal functions often find themselves tasked with implementing unified international practices, standards, policies and codes of conduct which, while feasible in some locations in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa (EMEA), can raise major legal issues in others.

In this webinar, we will share our experience designing and managing these projects, giving insights as to what consistency looks like in diverse countries, and the limits to what can be achieved. We will focus, in particular, on the following areas:

What are the drivers towards global policies and practices, and any associated downsides.
The legal risks to watch for when putting in place global approaches to diversity, business conduct, performance management, working time, alternative working arrangements (including use of contingent workers) and dignity at work issues.
The growing trend towards liability for supply chain human rights issues.
The changing landscape of data privacy in Europe.
Drafting techniques for global EMEA application.

This webinar is intended for in-house counsel, HR professionals, and benefits managers with international responsibilities, particularly in EMEA.
